What is around you when you step out
The Math stands on Basanta Road at Balagandi, between the Grand Road and the sea, on the route the chariots take each July.
Distances are walking distances from the gate, not from the middle of town.
2 km
Sri Jagannath Temple
Sri Mandira, and the reason nearly every guest is in Puri. About two kilometres up from Balagandi — walkable before dawn, a few minutes by auto otherwise.
At the door
Balagandi and the Grand Road
The Math stands on the Rath Yatra route, where the chariots halt at Balagandi and prasadam is distributed to the crowd. In July the road outside the door is the festival.
0.7 km
The sea at Balagandi
The quiet end of Puri beach, a few minutes down the road — far enough from the main sea beach to still be quiet at sunrise.

Questions
Getting here and getting to the temple
How far Sri Mandira is from the door, how to reach Puri and Balagandi, and what the address means during Rath Yatra.
How far is Shree Chaitanya Gaudiya Math from Sri Jagannath Temple?
About 2 km. It is a walk of roughly half an hour up from Balagandi, which most guests do before dawn, or a few minutes by auto at any other time of day.
How do I get to Puri?
Puri is the terminus of its railway line, so every train that comes here stops here. By road it is about ninety minutes from Bhubaneswar, whose airport is the nearest at roughly 60 km. Ask an auto driver for Balagandi on Basanta Road rather than for the Math by name.
Can I stay during Rath Yatra?
The Math is on the Rath Yatra route at Balagandi, where the chariots halt — which is the best possible address in July and the reason the rooms go months in advance. Ask very early, and expect to be told honestly if there is nothing left.
