Puri is a temple town of Orissa state the state capital is Bhubaneswar ,I was traveling from Kolkata to puri in direct train and reached there around early morning took a auto for Rs-50/-to reach the hotel where room was already booked by my friend Janardan prathihari who is a temple priest of our temple he arranged my darshan of Jagannath after taking my bath,
Jagath guru Adi sankaracharya who believed to be lived in around period between 2500 to 2000 Bc established 4 maths in south east west and north sides of India and one among them is in puri, the Jagannath temple is more than 1200 years old that was constructed by suing the stones of Nilachal mountain therefore the Loard Jagannath also known as Nilachalachandra, temple structure stands as a marvellous structure even after all these years standing tall in the storms and rains that hit puri during recent times without any damages whatsoever,
The Diety of Loard Jagannath , Subadra and Balram is made out of the wood of Neem tree, that gets replaced in every 12years that was new information for me , the replaced old diety keep buried under the earth in a nearby compound which considers as a sacred place,
Normally, in temples bog offered to Deity in the morning afternoon and evening but as far as puri is concerned
The offering of Mahaprasad happens six times a day with 56tems above includes rice ghee and dry fruits etc... the Mahaprasad prepared in earthen pots keeping one above the other thus up to 7pots in a row the surprising fact is that the item in the top most pot get first, cooked first, every day Mahaprasd is cooked for more than one lakh people all the cooking is done using wood fire 🔥
In the evening I went to see the flag hosting above the temple dome which is several hundred meters high on a metal chakra which can be seen from.far away, the chakra, weights more than 2tones there is no stair to reach to top happens ome, members of a particular family climb all the way to the top to host the flag every day
It happens each day in the evening during sunsets, failure to host the flag on any day will result in the closure of temple for 12years as per the belief which never happened in the temple history
Friendly staffs and best customer dealings.
At the junction itself and easily accessible from road.
Tyre shop is within the pump building, makes more advantage.
