Incredible things about Jagannath Temple in Jagannathpuri

 (History)

Incredible things about Jagannath Temple at Jagannathpuri It took three generations to build the huge walls of the famous Jagannath Temple at Jagannathpuri, located in Odisha. This temple is of utmost

 

 importance to the Hindus as well as being one of the Char-Dham pilgrimages. It also serves as a mighty historical structure built in the year 1078, almost a millennium ago. Every year lakhs of people come to Odisha (India) to have darshan of Lord Jagannath.

Jagannath Puri Rath Yatra 2024

This year Puri Rath Yatra will start from 20 June and end on 28 June. According to the Hindu calendar, every year on the second day of the month of Ashadha, Lord Jagannath accompanied by his brother Balarama and sister Subhadra visits his aunt's house. Every year a Rath Yatra is taken out with great pomp at the Jagannath Temple located in the Jagannath Puri city of Odisha. Three chariots depart from the Jagannath temple. In the front is the chariot of Balraj ji, in the middle is the chariot of sister Subhadra and at the rear is the chariot of Jagannath Prabhu.

 Reason for taking out Rath Yatra

Rath Yatra is dedicated to Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, in fact there are many stories behind the Puri Rath Yatra. One of which is that once Shri Krishna, who resides in the Puri temple in the form of Jagannath, is told by his younger sister Subhadra that he is inclined to visit Dwarka but by road. Lord Shri Krishna respecting the wish of his younger sister, he tells his elder brother Dau that Dau, how can we go without you, you are our guide. After this, all three Balaram, Subhadra and Shri Krishna had completed this journey through chariot, during this journey they also went to Gundicha's house and stayed there for seven days. From then onwards the Rath Yatra started.

 Now since Lord Shri Krishna had called his elder brother as his guide, therefore the chariot of Lord Balarama moves in the forefront of the Rath Yatra, followed by the chariot of Goddess Subhadra in the middle and Lord Jagannath Shri Krishna's chariot behind it.

Some amazing facts about Puri and Rath Yatra

jagnnath temple facts/mystery

1. Facts Against the Law of Nature

 Jagannath puri temple facts

Even a child knows that if a cloth is left in the air, it flies in the direction of the current. But the flag on top of the Jagannath temple seems to be a unique exception to the principle. This flag flies in the opposite direction of the wind without any scientific background.

2. Climb 

Every day a priest climbs the walls of the temple to a height equivalent to a 45-storey building, to replace the flag on the dome of the temple. This ritual was built long before the temple was built. This work is done with bare hands without any protective gear. It is believed that if the ritual is omitted by one day from the calendar, the temple will be closed for 18 years.

3. a light without darkness

 Jagannath puri temple facts

When sunlight casts a shadow on one part of the subject to another, which eventually triggers the shadow. It is said that there is no shadow in the temple from any direction at any time of the day. Could it be an architectural marvel or Lord Jagannath's message to humanity?

4.puzzle of Sudarshan Chakra

 Jagannath puri temple facts

There are two secrets present on the top of the temple in the form of Sudarshan Chakra. The first contrast was how the hard metal, which weighed about a ton, arose with the human power of that century without any machinery. The second is related to the architectural techniques related to the chakra. Look from every direction, the wheel looks back in the same way. It's as if it was designed to look the same from every direction.

5. There is nothing above God, so nothing flies over the temple

 Jagannath puri temple facts

We see birds sitting, resting and flying on top of our heads and roofs all the time. But, not a single bird is found above the dome of the temple, not even an airplane can be seen over the temple. Maybe Lord Jagannath does not want the view of his holy mansion to be spoiled!

In mythology, wasting food is considered a bad sign; , The total number of people who visit the temple ranges between 2,000 to 2,00,000 people daily. Miraculously, the Prasad prepared every day does not go in vain, could it be an effective management or the will of the Lord?

7. frozen sea water

When you take the first step inside the temple from the entrance of the Lion Gate, the sound of the ocean waves is completely lost. This phenomenon mainly occurs in the evening.

9. magical ways of cooking

 Jagannath puri temple facts

The traditional way of cooking Prasadam is followed here. Exactly seven pots stacked one on top of the other are cooked using firewood. Amazingly, the top pot cooks first, and the rest later.

10. incomplete idol worship

  Here the incomplete idol has been worshiped for centuries, generally the incomplete idol is not worshipped. There is a special reason behind it. Actually the idol of Lord Jagannath, Sister Subhadra and Dau Balaram kept in the temple of Jagannath Puri is not complete, only their mouth is made, not hands and feet. There is a story behind it.
 
According to the legend, once King Indradyumna of Puri had entrusted the work of making idols of Lord Jagannath, sister Subhadra and Dau Balarama to Dev Shilpi Vishwakarma but Shilpi placed a condition in front of the king that till the work of the idol is not completed. Till then they will stay inside a room and no one will be allowed inside.
On this the king agreed to Shilpi. He used to come out of Shilpi's house every day, where he could hear the sound of making idols. One day he was passing in front of Shilpi's house but he did not hear any sound. He got worried and opened the door of Shilpi's house, as soon as the king entered Shilpi's house, the craftsman Vishwakarma disappeared and never came again. Now King Indradyumna forced all the three idols of Lord Jagannath, Sister Subhadra and Dau Balarama to be kept in the temple of Puri and since then there is a tradition of worshiping incomplete idols in Puri.
