Sai Kiran is an independent writer interested in Indian temple history, pilgrimage traditions and practical travel information, and writes this guide.
About the author
Sai Kiran develops independently researched guides that distinguish documented historical information from traditional and devotional accounts. The aim is simple: a pilgrim or reader should be able to see where each important statement comes from, and how certain it is.
Sai Kiran is not affiliated with the Shree Jagannatha Temple Administration and does not hold a position as a temple servitor, historian or official. The guides are compiled from the temple administration's published information, government sources and published scholarship, as described in the editorial policy and on the sources page.
