You all must have heard about the place named as land of Jagannath. Yes, I’m saying about one of the 4 dhammas in our country. Jagannath Puri,Odisha being one of the holy places where millions of devotees keep visiting throughout the year.
Let me share some incredible facts about the temple which will make you believe in magic:
1.The flag at the top of the temple has been observed to flap in the opposite direction of the wind
This may sound unusual but it’s true. Defying the nature’s code of conduct and without any scientific background the flag is seen to flap opposite to the course of wind.
2.Sudarshana Chakra seems to face us where ever we go
From every direction you look, the Chakra looks back with the same appearance. It's like it was designed to look just the same from every direction.
3.Nothing above the temple fly
Nothing above the God can be present is well justified here .Not a single bird is encountered to fly above the temple dome. As like birds, airplanes are also not seen hovering over it ever.
4.Shadow of the temple is not visible
It’s strange and hard to believe. Every object has a shadow but this holy temple doesn’t reflect any shadow whatever may be the time of the day.
6.Water direction
In any of the coastal areas during the day time breeze blow from sea to land and during the evening land to sea. But here in Puri the opposite happens.
In Hindu mythology, wasting food is considered a bad sign; the Temple crew follows the same. A total number of people visiting the temple varies between 2,000 to 2, 00,000 people every day. Miraculously, the Abadha(Prasad) prepared every day is never wasted, not even a bite.
Every Odia will get goosebumps in the name of Shree Jagannath ji. The devotion,spirituality and love of all the devotees makes us emotional.Everytime you go to Puri and if you stand infront of the Mandira you could feel the presence of the living God. The great Chariot festival popularly named as “Ratha yatra” where the devotees assemble and surrender themselves to the lively God. You all will definitely believe the presence of the supreme power once you visit this place.
