The Jagannath Temple was built by King Anantavarman Chodaganga of the Eastern Ganga dynasty in the 12th century, though the site is believed to have been sacred for much longer. Puri rose to prominence as a major Hindu pilgrimage center under the patronage of successive Odia kings, and Adi Shankaracharya established one of his four cardinal mathas here in the 8th century.
