MYSTERIES JAGANNATH TEMPLE, PURI, ODISHA

2020-03-13T21:24:00.000+05:30

Shree Jagannath Temple, Puri, Odisha

Jagannath temple is the heart attraction of Puri, Odisha.This is an most important hindu temple which is dedicated to lord Jagannath, a form of Vishnu and only hindus can enter into this temple.This temple is famous for the ratha yatra (when three principal deities are pulled on huge and elaborately decorated temple cars) and many astonishing facts about this temple & till now which are unsolved.

This temple is constructed by the king Chodaganga but finally it is completed by Anangabhima Deva in 1174AD and it covers an area near about 37000m^2 and the height of the wall is 6.1m which is known as Meghanada Pacheri.The main portion of this temple is surrounded by a wall known as Kurma Bheda.

The main temple is comprised with 4 parts-

Deula, Vimana or Garba griha where the triad deities are lodged on the ratnavedi (Throne of Pearls).
Mukhashala (frontal porch)
Nata mandir (which is also known as the Jagamohan- audience hall/dancing hall) and
Bhoga Mandapa (offerings hall).

Neela Chakra

And a metal wheel is also present at the top of the Jagannath temple, known as Neela Chakra (which is made of 8 metals comprising of iron, copper, mercury, zinc, silver, lead, brass & gold). It symbolizes protection by Shri Jagannath and this is the only physical object whose markings are used as sacrament and concidered sared in Jagannath worship. And as per custom, everyday a different flag is waved on the Neela Chakra and the flag hoisted on the Neela Chakra is called the Patita Pavana.

UNSOLVED FACTS OF THIS JAGANNATH TEMPLE

We everybody know that when the sunlight glows one part of the subject it leaves shadow on the other but this Jagannath temple is reported to have no shadow of any object from any directions.So it is known that a light with no darkness.

It is believed that nothing is above the god, nothing fly above it either because this temple area is totally restricted area for fly the birds even an aeroplane could not be seen over the temple.

This is most important riddle, when you enter the first step inside the temple from Singha Dwara entrance you can't hear the roar of the water of sea, it is totally lost here.But when you returns from the temple you again hear the sound of the seawaves.This phenomenon is more prominent in the evening.It is local lore- it was the will of the Subhdra Mayi, the sister of the 2 lords who wished for serenity within the temple gates.Hence her will was duly fulfilled.

Generally we know, any place on Earth, on daytime the breeze from sea comes to the land and the opposite happens in the evening.But in Puri, you can find the reverse gear of the breeze i.e in daytime the breeze blows from the land to the sea and the opposite happens in the evening.

The riddle of Sudarshan Chakra i.e from every direction you can see this chakra and it looks back with the same appearance.

Magical methods for cook the prasadam and this is the traditional way to cook by the prists here.Exactly 7 pots are used as vessels mounted over one another and are cooked using firewood and it is very interesting that- the top most pot is cooked first and then the rest follows the same order.It is also known as the largest kitchen in the world.

According to Hindu mythology, wasting food is considered a bad sign but here the food is never futile. A total number of people visiting this temple varies between 2000 to 200000 people everyday. But the prasadam prepared everyday is never wasted, not even a bite!

The deities are made up of the neem wood and are believe that they are disintegrated by their own and is replaced by new one.The deities are buried from every 14-18 years.So, do not forget to check these amazing facts and share your experience with me.

Ratha Yatra
