Jagannath Temple | Whenever there is talk of Char Dham Yatra, there is definitely a mention of Jagannath temple in it. It is very important in itself and is known for many beliefs as well as many mysteries. Yes.. many such miracles have happened in this temple till date, whose answer has not been found by science till date. In today’s video we will know about the features related to Jagannath temple and the special mystery of this temple. This is one such temple in the world where people get signals before the disaster arrives. So let’s know in detail about Jagannath Puri Dham.
Jagannath Temple, Puri, is located in the Indian state of Odisha, which is dedicated to Lord Jagannath i.e. Shri Krishna. This is a temple which is considered one of the four Dhams of the Vaishnav sect. It is said that the heart of Shri Krishna located in the temple beats here. Not only this, the wishes of the people are fulfilled by just visiting this temple. This is the reason why lakhs of people come here every year for darshan. Among the mythological temples of Odisha, Jagannath Temple is said to be quite supernatural in itself. This temple is more than 800 years old.
The biggest miracle of this temple is that the flag of the temple always flutters in the opposite direction. Actually, usually during the day the wind blows from the sea towards the land and in the evening from the land towards the sea, but a unique miracle is seen here. The flag of this temple always flutters opposite to the direction of the wind, which is quite mysterious in itself. Not only this, the direction of this flag has also been changed many times but this flag always flutters in the opposite direction and the reason for this has not been known till date, due to which it is also called a miracle.
Jagannath temple is also called the world’s largest kitchen. The secret of the kitchen is that earthen pots are kept one above the other to cook the Lord’s Prasad. During this, the dish in the pot kept on the top gets cooked first and then the Prasad gets cooked one after the other at the bottom. No matter how many devotees come here, there is never any shortage of Prasad and neither does the Prasad here ever go waste. As soon as the time comes to close the temple, the Prasad also gets finished.
The biggest mystery of this temple is that the shadow of the temple’s peak always remains invisible. The shadow of any object or human, animal or bird has always been considered a law of science but in the Jagannath temple, it is the opposite. The height of the Jagannath temple, spread over an area of about four lakh square feet, is 214 feet but the upper part of the temple also challenges this law of science. Actually, the shadow of the temple’s peak always remains invisible.
Not only this, this is a temple on which birds never sit. Yes.. you must have usually seen that birds are always seen sitting on temples, mosques or big buildings, but no plane ever flies over this temple of Puri and neither does any bird sit on the top of the temple.
The stairs of the Jagannath Puri temple are also said to have a unique significance. It is said that its stairs are directly related to Yamraj. Actually, the third staircase of this temple is said to be very mysterious in itself. There are a total of 22 stairs in the Jagannath temple, out of which the third staircase while entering is called the staircase of Yamraj. People can step on it while entering the temple but do not step on it while descending. Not only this, but to draw people’s attention to this staircase, its color has also been made black.
It is said that from time to time there are signs of a major disaster in the Jagannath Puri temple. Actually, in 2020, lightning struck the temple, after which an epidemic like Corona was seen across the country. It is said that when a major incident happens in this temple, people also have to face a big challenge. Now recently, the incident of an eagle flying with a flag in the Jagannath Puri temple surprised everyone.
Actually, here an eagle flew away the flag present on the peak, the video of which is going viral on social media, after which people are making various comments, many people are assuming that this is a sign of some big event. However, many people are also considering it as just a coincidence.
