The flag mounted atop of the Jagannath temple
blows in opposite direction. The priest does not
take any support or gear to perform the flag
changing ritual. It is said, if by any change
the flag changing ritual goes missed then the
temple will automatically shut down for the next
18 years. The architecture of the temple was
intended in a way that the temples dome does not
provide any shadow at any point in time of a
day. Winds blow from the sea towards land in the
daytime and vice-versa in the evening. But, it

temple is 1 ton in weight and 20 feet in height.
It is unknown how a colossal chakra was brought
atop of the dome without any mechanical help but
only with human help. The Sudarshan Chakra is in
stalled in a magical way that it faces towards eve
ry visitor irrespective of the direction the
visitor gazes it from. One vessel is placed over
another till it reaches the count No 7. The
matter of surprise is that the food at the
topmost vessel cooked first and the rest vessels
follow a similar order. It is a mystery or the
grace of Lord Jagannath, the quantity of prasad
prepared in Puri Jagannath temple is never spent
wasted or insufficient for followers to visit in
the temple. Puri and Ganga are far apart. But,
Ganga flows inside the kitchen in Jagannath
temple where the bhog or prasamdam is prepared
every day with 7 pot tradition and Ganga Jal.

You will not listen to the sound of the sea when y
ou enter the Puri Jagannath temple through
Simha/Singha Dwara (Eastern or Lions Gate of
Puri temple). It is beyond our logical mind but
it is true that after every 12 years the old
idols get disintegrated manually and buried
below the new idols. The idols are made up of
neem wood and they remain massed until the
completion. It is believed that a person who
pulls the rope of the chariot will not suffer
from rebirth but get Moksha (liberation) and
earn a boon from Jagannath deva. It is palpable
that every year Puri goes drenched with rain on
the festive day of Ratha Yatra without any fail.
