Every story of Puri temple is alluring to the devotees of Jagannath or Vishnu.

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 temple’s 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 incident happen reverse completely in Puri. It is an astonishing fact but it is beyond true that no bird or plane flies above the temple.
The Sudarshan Chakra atop the main dome of the 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 installed in a magical way that it faces towards every 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 you enter the Puri Jagannath temple through Simha/Singha Dwara (Eastern or Lion’s 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.
