This temple is located at the end of Grand road about 3 kms northeast of the Jagannatha temple. At the time of the Rath Yatra festival, Lord Jagannatha goes to the Gundicha temple and stays there for one week and returns back to His original temple. Gundicha is also the name of the king Indradyumna, who originally established the temple of Jagannatha. It is a holy place where God resides for seven days during the festival. The walls enclose a garden, in which the temple is built. This garden is regarded as the place of lord Jagannath’s aunt. The cleansing of the Gundicha temple takes place the day before the Ratha-Yatra festival as mentioned in "Chaitanya-Caritamrita". Non-Hindus can walk within the walls and see the beautiful garden, but they are not allowed in the temple building.
