The Shri Jagannath Temple Act, 1955 (Odisha Act 11 of 1955) is the Odisha state legislature's own statute governing the temple's administration, a primary legal text. Its strength is direct legal authority: it is the law itself, checkable against its own provisions. Its limit is that it is the legislative instrument, not a scholarly or historical account of the temple, its rituals or its history, which a reader wanting that context should seek in dedicated scholarship rather than in the statute.
