Jagannath dham - Hindu temple in Baleshwar, Saraswatipur - Baleshwar, India

Very beautiful place to visit. Specially it looks awesome in night time due to its lighting effect.

Beautiful place,The temple appears as if it is built on the wheels of a big chariot. The lighting design of this temple had to fulfill two main goals: create an exterior scene that highlights the architectural elements and show the temple as a light-emitting element, while the interior lighting scenes had to generate a warm and intimate ambiance favorable for prayers.
