Jagannath Temple Was Built In
All About Lord Of Universe and his temple.
Pravhu BALARAM as (sanhara karta)
The Jagannath temple was built in the 12th century atop its ruins by the progenitor of the Eastern Ganga dynasty, King Anantavarman Chodaganga Deva. The temple is famous for its annual Rath Yatra, or chariot festival, in which the three main temple deities are hauled on huge and elaborately decorated temple cars. Since medieval times, it is also associated with intense religious fervor.
Legendary account as found in the Skanda-Purana, Brahma Purana and other Puranas and later Oriya works state that Lord Jagannath was originally worshipped as Lord Neela Madhav by a Savar king ( tribal chief ) named Viswavasu. Having heard about the deity, King Indradyumna sent a Brahmin priest, Vidyapati to locate the deity, who was worshipped secretly in a dense forest by Viswavasu. Vidyapati tried his best but could not locate the place. But at last he managed to marry Viswavasu's daughter Lalita. At repeated request of Vidyapti, Viswavasu took his son-in-law blind folded to a cave where Lord Neela Madhav was worshipped.
Vidyapati was very intelligent. He dropped mustard seeds on the ground on the way. The seeds germinated after a few days, which enabled him to find out the cave later on. On hearing from him, King Indradyumna proceeded immediately to Odra desha (Odisha) on a pilgrimage to see and worship the Deity. But the deity had disappeared. The king was disappointed. The Deity was hidden in sand. The king was determined not to return without having a darshan of the deity and observed fast unto death at Mount Neela, Then a celestial voice cried 'thou shalt see him '. Afterwards the king performed a horse sacrifice and built a magnificent temple for Vishnu. Sri Narasimha Murti brought by Narada was installed in the temple. During sleep, the king had a vision of Lord Jagannath. Also an astral voice directed him to receive the fragrant tree on the seashore and make idols out of it. Accordingly the king got the image of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, Subhadra and Chakra Sudarshan made out of the wood of the divine tree and installed them in the temple.
Glorious Architecture and Structural Details: The Temple of Jagannath at Puri is one of the major Hindu temples in India. The huge temple complex covers an area of over 400,000 square feet (37,000 m2) and is surrounded by a high fortified wall. This 20 feet (6.1 m) high wall is known as Meghanada Pacheri. Another wall known as kurma bedha surrounds the main temple. It contains at least 120 temples and shrines. With its sculptural richness and fluidity of the Oriya style of temple architecture, it is one of the most magnificent monuments of India. The temple has four distinct sectional structures, namely –
1. Deula, Vimana or Garba griha (Sanctum sanctorum) where the triad deities are lodged on the ratnavedi (Throne of Pearls). In Rekha Deula style;
2. Mukhashala (Frontal porch);
3. Nata mandir/Natamandapa, which is also known as the Jagamohan (Audience Hall/Dancing Hall), and
4. Bhoga Mandapa (Offerings Hall)
The main temple is a curvilinear temple and crowning the top is the ‘srichakra’ (an eight-spoked wheel) of Vishnu. Among the existing temples in Orissa, the temple of Shri Jagannath is the highest. The temple tower was built on a raised platform of stone and, rising to 214 feet (65 m) above the inner sanctum where the deities reside, dominates the surrounding landscape. The pyramidal roofs of the surrounding temples and adjoining halls, or mandapas, rise in steps toward the tower like a ridge of mountain peaks.
Vimana : The imposing structure consists of the Vimana, Jagamohana, Natamandira and Bhogamandapa. The last two structures were, perhaps, constructed during the Suryavamsi Gajapati rule. The Vimana of the temple stands at a lofty height of 214 ft. and 8 inches and a square of 80 ft. The figures in the Vimana are the proofs of the developed art of Kalinga. Among those, the figures of Astadikpa/a lion standing over crouching elephants, the figure of adult Krishna, the procession of horses and elephants, various social-cultural scene, erotic panels etc. The Vimana has been constructed in a Pancharatha plan.
Jagamohana : The Jagamohana of the temple like that Vimana follows a Pancharatha style. The roof of this structure is amply supported by several iron beams. Its height is 120 ft. The Natyamandira of the temple is pyramidal in form. It is a square room measuring 69 ft x 67 ft. inside and the outside measurement of it is a square of 80 ft.
Natamandira and Bhogamandapa : The Natyamandira depicts the story of the Kanchi-Kaveri expedition which most probably found a place there during the glorious reign of Gajapati Purusottamadeva. Like Natyamandira, the Bhogamandapa is a pyramidal structure measuring 58 ft. x 56 ft. The sculptures in this structure depict mainly stories related with Sri Krishna’s life like his playing of the flute when the cows listen to it with’ upraised heads, Krishna’s various poses, his play with the cowherd women in the boat, Dola yatra etc.
Nilachakra : The Nila Chakra (Blue Discus) is the discus mounted on the top Shikhar of the Jagannath Temple. As per custom, every day a different flag is waved on the Nila Chakra. The flag hoisted on the Nila Chakra is called the Patita Pavana (Purifier of the Fallen) and is equivalent to the image of the deities placed in the sanctum sanctorum. The Nila Chakra is a disc with eight Navagunjaras carved on the outer circumference, with all facing towards the flagpost above. It is made of an alloy of eight metals (Asta-dhatu) and is 3.5 Metres (11 feet and 8 inches) high with a circumference of about 11 metres (36 feet). The Nila Chakra is distinct from the Sudarshana chakra which has been placed with the deities in the inner sanctum. Nila Chakra is the most revered iconic symbol in the Jagannath cult. The Nila Chakra is the only physical object whose markings are used as a sacrament and considered sacred in Jagannath worship. It symbolizes protection by Shri Jagannath.
Outer-walls and Doorways : The entire Jagannath temple is surrounded by an outer wall known as the Meghanada Prachira. The eastern gate is popularly known as Singhadwara. On either side of the entrance, the figure of a big crouching lion with a crown on the head is found.
Two robust figures, Jaya and Vijaya are found on the pilasters of that door. This gate is famous among the pilgrims as Jaya Vijaya dwara. This gate is the main entrance to the temple. This gate contains the images of Patitapabana, Ganesha, Hanuman etc. In front of the gate is Aruna Stambha (the Surya pillar) which was brought from Konarka and installed there during the Maratha rule. The southern gate or Aswadwara comes next in order of importance. The gate is so named because two big horses (one black and another white) with their riders (Balabhadra and Jagannath respectively) are found on the pilaster of that door. The last entrance gate to the temple of God Jagannath is known as the Vyaghradwara. It is due to the presence of two big tiger images there. Their presence gives a grandiose look to the gate.
Outer-enclosure after Hastidwara : The outer enclosure, after the Hastidwara is significant with the presence of the shrines of Sitala, Uttarayani, Hanumana, Somanatha, Dhavalesvara and Patalesvara. Four epigraphs of the famous Ganga monarch Anangabhimadeva III found in the Patalesvara temple describe the rituals of the Jagannath temple.
Rosasala : The Rosasala or the kitchen of Lord Jagannath is regarded as the greatest kitchen in the world. Here, rice and vegetables are cooked simultaneously by earthen pots kept over one another. The cooked rice and curry are offered to God as Bhoga which becomes Mahaprasada after the offering is made.
Kalpavata : Among the important shrines in the southern side, the Astadhatu (made of eight metals) image of Nilamadhava in the shape of Lord Jagannath is important. The Kalpabata is another notable thing inside the temple complex where the women, desirous of a son, bind threads in the branches of that great banyan tree.
Anandabazar : The Anandabazar is another notable site inside the temple complex. Here, the Mahaprasada of the Lord is sold. At that place, irrespective of caste and creed take the Prasada together. Besides, Anandabazara, the Koili Vaikuntha, Nilachala Upabana (garden) and a museum (recently opened) etc. are other noticeable features of the temple of Lord Jagannath.
