About KTT
The Foundation of Trust & Righteousness
KIIT Temple Trust (KTT) has been the foundation of trust driving on a path of self-discovery and righteousness. It stands strong to preach its pure act of selfless living through this spiritual centre — a sacred haven where devotion meets purpose.
Shri Jagannath — the Lord of the Universe — the supreme solace and a savior for countless devotees, holds a splendid divine presence within a magnificent temple nestled amidst the campuses of Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) and Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT).
The spectacular Jagannath temple complex is erected over a sprawling one-acre land donated by Dr. Achyuta Samanta, founder of KIIT and KISS. The temple was inaugurated in 2007 by the Gajapati Maharaja of Puri, Sri Divyasingha Deb.
“The temple stands as a living testament that spirituality and service are inseparable — one feeds the other in an eternal cycle of devotion and grace.”
