Shri Vimala Shakti Peetha Temple, Puri

The temple is located in the south-west corner of the inner enclosure of the Jagannath temple complex and on the western corner of the tower of Jagannath, next to the sacred pond Rohini kunda. The temple faces east and is built of sandstoneand laterite. It is built in the Deula style with four components; vimana (structure containing the sanctum), jagamohana(assembly hall), nata-mandapa (festival hall) and bhoga-mandapa (hall of offerings). The temple was renovated around 2005 and is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India, Bhubaneswar Circle.

Though a small shrine in the temple complex, the Vimala temple is important to the Goddess-oriented Shakta and Tantricworshippers, who revere it even more than the main Jagannath shrine. Vimala is considered to be the Tantric consort of Jagannath and a guardian of the temple complex. Devotees pay respect to Vimala before worshipping Jagannath in the main temple. Food offered to Jagannath does not get sanctified asMahaprasad until it is also offered to Vimala. The Goddess-oriented festival of Durga Pujain the Hindu month of Ashvin (October) is celebrated for sixteen days at Vimala, culminating with Vijayadashami.

The Vimala Temple, also spelled as Bimala Temple is a Hindu Temple in Puri in the Indian state of Odisha. This temple is one great object of pride for the Odisha people. It is indeed a majestic one and that too is an understatement. The temple is a part of the famous and highly revered Jagannath Temple Complex. It is regarded as a Shakti Peeth. The Vimala temple is faced towards the east and is made up of laterite and sandstones. The temple was last renovated in the year 2005 and it is maintained by the ASI (Archaeological Survey of India), Bhubaneswar Cycle. Although the shrine of the Vimala temple is not very big in stature by any means or stretch of imagination, however, the Vimala temple holds huge significance to the goddess oriented Tantric and Shakta worshippers who pay more reverence to it than even the main Jagannath shrine. Vimala is regarded as the Tantric consort of Jagannath and the guardian of the Jagannath temple. It is exactly due to this reason devotees show their respect to Vimala prior to worshipping the main Jagannath

You cannot completely visualize the temple when standing near and under it. Magnificent, majestic with lots of ancient art on the stone blocks.
