Recently I had visited this place and seen that daitaries rudely behave to the devotees and tourists and the daities demand highly charge of money to the devotees and force them to pay they are worse than beggars.they don't have self-respect.they spoil my trip. Government should take strict action against them. I don't know why temple authority don't take any action against this type of greedy daitaris..they just make the spiritual place negative....

I am giving 1 star just because of pandit who are there and forcing money from devotees. He demanded 50 rs from us just because we wanted to offer coconut inside the temple. I straight away denied and went inside. Pandit followed me and forcefully took coconut from me and after breaking thrown out water on shivling. He took carry bag, Banana and thrown all inside temple only just beside shivling.. very shocking he didn't throw banana cover and carry bag, milk used bag in dust pot. Very bad condition of temple because of such pandit. Back side of shivling lot of old bilva Patra and it was smelling badly.... No doubt it's lord Shiva holy place but 0% maintenance by temple trustee. May Lord Shiva give them some knowledge ??

Temple in puri dedicated to Lord Shiva. Mobile phones not allowed and there is a locker outside. There is a holy pond within the premises. Blissful temple but be careful from pundits demanding money for performing rituals forcefully

Located 1.5 km from Jagannath Temple, Puri, Loknath Temple is a major tourist attraction of Odisha. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and has been since a long time. The existence of this temple has been made in the old tales on Indian mythology and have often been linked to Lord Ram who had made a stop in Puri and wished to meet Lord Shiva. This temple witnesses a huge crowd of pilgrims who fly from all over the world to have a glimpse of Lord Loknath and a huge number of crowd is visible during Maha Shivratri. The strong belief of getting rid of all the problem one is facing and attaining salvation is what has been the crowd attracting factor of this temple. People who still find aid here believe that Loknath Temple is a place where one can find that true serendipity and peace of mind. The temple has always seen a huge crowd all the year but that has never stopped a single pilgrim from getting a glimpse of the lingam.
