Grand Lord Jagannath Temple to Be Built in Shri Shyam Township, Khatu Shyam Ji

Bhoomi Pujan Performed by Chief Priest of Jagannath Puri Temple

Khatu Shyam Ji, Rajasthan | April 18, 2025: In a spiritually significant milestone, the Bhoomi Pujan for the construction of a magnificent Lord Jagannath Templewas held at Shri Shyam Township, Jalund Maganpura, in District Sikar, Rajasthan, near the sacred pilgrimage town of Khatu Shyam Ji. The auspicious ceremony was conducted by Shri Bhawani Prasad Das Mahapatra, the Chief Priest of the historic Shri Jagannath Puri Mandir, Odisha, invoking divine blessings for this spiritually transformative project.

The temple will be built within the heart of Shri Shyam Township, an emerging spiritual and residential hub being developed by OmShri Real Tech Group. With its serene surroundings, thoughtful planning, and close proximity to Khatu Shyam Ji — one of North India’s most visited pilgrimage sites — the township is envisioned as a modern, integrated spiritual habitat. The addition of the Jagannath Temple will not only enhance its spiritual aura but also contribute to the township’s long-term vision of becoming a faith-led community space for families, saints, and spiritual seekers.

The land for the temple was generously offered by Mr. Praveen Kumar Bhati, Founder of OmShri Real Tech Group, whose deep-rooted devotion and commitment to spiritual service inspired this noble gesture. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Bhati shared: “I have always believed that our land and resources should serve a greater purpose — one that uplifts society spiritually and culturally. Donating land for the construction of the Lord Jagannath Temple in Shri Shyam Township is not just a personal offering, but a step towards building a center of faith, unity, and devotion for generations to come. We hope this temple becomes a spiritual anchor in the region, inspiring values of compassion, service, and cultural pride.”

The Bhoomi Pujan was led with great reverence by Shri Bhawani Prasad Das Mahapatra, Chief Priest of the Jagannath Puri Temple, who remarked:“It is a moment of immense joy to witness Lord Jagannath’s blessings reach the sacred land of Khatu Shyam Ji. The establishment of this temple will serve as a bridge between two spiritually powerful pilgrimages — Puri and Khatu. It is not just a structure; it is a path toward devotion, discipline, and divine connection for devotees in Rajasthan and beyond.”

Also present at the ceremony were Ms. Mamta Bhati, Co-founder, Om Shri Real Tech Group, Mr. Mohit Mittal, Chief Executive Officer, and Ms. Shweta Mittal, Chief Operating Officer of MORES, who extended their support to the initiative.

Mr. Mohit Mittal expressed: “Being part of this historic moment fills me with deep humility and pride. At MORES, we believe in aligning our efforts with purposeful causes, and supporting the construction of a temple that will touch countless lives is a true honour. The Lord Jagannath Temple will not only serve as a spiritual destination but also as a place for peace, cultural unity, and inner transformation.”

With the Bhoomi Pujan complete, the construction of the Lord Jagannath Temple in Rajasthan marks a new chapter in India’s spiritual journey — one that offers a sanctuary for seekers, pilgrims, and communities alike.
