  • The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) has secured trademark protection for the Nilachakra logo and the terms Patitapabana and Ananda Bajara, becoming the first Indian shrine to obtain such protection.
  • Patitapabana means Saviour of the Fallen, and Ananda Bajara is the sacred Mahaprasad dining area inside the temple.
  • Nilachakra (Neelachakra) is the sacred eight-spoked metal disc located atop the temple spire.
  • The Jagannath Temple, Puri, also called the White Pagoda, was built in the 12th century CE by Anantavarman Chodaganga Deva and follows the Kalinga style of Nagara architecture.
  • The temple is one of the four Char Dhams and is the centre of the world-famous Ratha Yatra festival.
