The Jagannath Mandir in Hauz Khas boasts a stunning architecture complete with intricate carvings and beautiful wall paintings known as Patta Chitra. The temple is a two-story structure, with the ground floor dedicated to the worship of Goddess Mausi Maa. In front of the sanctum sanctorum on the ground floor is a spacious hall that adds to the temple’s grandeur. This hall becomes a hub of activity during Rath Yatra and other cultural events throughout the year. On the first floor, the main sanctum sanctorum houses Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, Goddess Subhadra, and Sudarshan. The climb to the first floor provides devotees with a panoramic view, similar to that of the Shri Jagannath Temple in Puri (Baisi Pahacha). The temple grounds also feature a flower garden dedicated to Lord Jagannath (Shri Jagannath pushp vaatika) and a kitchen (Paak Shaala).

The temple, entirely crafted from white marble, exudes a sense of tranquillity and inner peace. The Neela Chakra majestically crowns the temple, connecting deeply with devotees. As the sun rises every day, the temple shines with golden rays, glorifying it as a divine abode. According to historical records, the Jagannath Mandir in Hauz Khas is the oldest Jagannath temple in Delhi, built in 1967. The temple is managed by Sree Neelachala Seva Sangha, established in the same year. The Sangha organizes Rath Yatra and distributes Mahaprasad to devotees every year, following the rituals of the Puri Jagannath Mandir.

For Pravasi Odias residing in Delhi, the temple serves as the main hub for cultural expression and celebration of various festivals. It remains a beloved center of spirituality, art, and culture for devotees.
