There are people in Assam who would not believe that there is a Naamghar at Puri at Sri Jagannath Dham. Srimanta Shankardeva has travelled a lot and during his pilgrimage to different places of India and he stayed quite a long time at Sri Jagannath Dham at Puri Orissa.
But in my recent visit to Puri, I enquired a few people at Sri jagannath Dham and amazingly found out the Naamghar. Me and my family were more that elated!!
The Namghar at Puri situated some 15 km away from Sri Jagannath Dham at Loknath Road. The Srimanta Shankardeva Naamghar is near Baba Loknath's Ashram at Loknath Road.
Now the Naamghar boast of religious practice called Naam Prasanga Twice daily, one in morning and once in evening.
