March 17, 2025

Call it adding a dash of spirituality to luxury or something else! Meridian Mist Hotel & Resort, owned by Daitapati Shri Bhabani Das Maharaj, one of the top priests of Jagannath Temple, Puri, along with his family (although it is getting diluted through project membership programme) has now come up with a new luxury resort in Puri christened as Jagannatham.

- RITWIK MUKHERJEE

With sophisticated architecture and design, world-class amenities, and deep-rooted connection to Puri's rich heritage and history, Jagannatham promises to be more than just a destination but an experience where divinity and elegance coexist.

The 300-room luxury resort will have a strong spiritual focus in the holy town, the Priest said.

The construction cost of the 'Jagannatham' project is estimated at Rs 110 crore, excluding land.

The entire resort property is valued at Rs 200 crore.

The beachside project would be a pure vegetarian and non-liquor retreat, aiming to offer a "satvik" experience to pilgrims and travellers seeking spiritual serenity with modern comforts.
