Jagannath Temple is one of the oldest structures in Durbar Square. The temple has a three-tiered platform and two storeys. This temple has survived the earthquake but there are worrying cracks in the upper-storey brickwork. There is a big platform near Jagannath temple which is full of pigeons. People buy grains (for 20 rs or so) and feed grains to the pigeons which is a big attraction for everybody.
