Alarnath_Mandir (temple)
Bathing too much during the Mahasana festival causes the Lord to have a fever. At this time the general vision of the Lord is stopped, and for 15 days the fourth idol is occupied in the house of Ansar. During the Lord's Ansaar, devotees enjoy the vision of Sri Alarnath. It is believed that the vision of Sri Alarnath is the same as the vision of Jagannath. A legend in this regard further strengthens this belief.
[Once upon a time in such a time, the devotee Albandacharya was returning in sorrow without seeing the vision of the Lord. The Lord knew the mind of the devotee. The Lord had informed Albandacharya that he would pay homage to the body of the quadruped Narayan idol at Brahmagiri, seven miles south of the temple. Albandacharya got a vision of the Lord there and he considered himself blessed. ]
According to Albandacharya, the Narayan idol is said to be famous in Alarnath. Lord Alarnath ascended the throne. The garments are decorated with yellow garments, ornaments on the limbs, and the conch-chakra-gada-padma. Alarnath's bhoga, puja and niti-kanti are performed in the Vaishnavite tradition. Shri Chaitanya visited Jagannath at Mahaprabhu Alarnath and was overjoyed. Sri Alarnath's milk consumption is very popular among devotees. According to the Madala Panji, the temple was established in the 12th century AD during the reign of King Madan Mahadev, a Ganga dynasty king.
The Alarnath Temple is a temple of Vishnu located at Brahmagiri in Puri district. Brahmagiri is 20 km from Puri-Satpada Road on National Highway 203 (a) on the left side of Puri's holy Narendra Puskarini. On a five-acre site, the temple of Sri Alarnath, which is 50 feet 5 inches high, is located in the Ketki, Baul and Narikel forest environments. Surrounding the temple are the Sri Chaitanya Temple, the Shiva Temple and the temples of various Thakurani, the Navagraha Stone, the Nat Mandir, the Prayer House, the Bhogmandapa, the Mukhshala, and the Yajna Mandapa. The first thing to do before the ride is to take a bath. After this great bath, the Sreejivas, according to the legend, are afflicted with a high fever and fall into the house of Ansar. In the midst of the onslaught of the Ansar, the Daitapati servants, known as the descendants of the Lord, perform their service. At that time, devotees could not visit the temple for 15 days. So at this time the devotees are not able to see the Sreejivas and attain virtue by visiting Sri Alarnath of Brahmagiri. There is a saying that visiting Sri Sri Nath on the Ratna throne of the temple is as good as visiting Sri Alarnath during the Ansar. Therefore, during the Ansar, the Alarnath temple is crowded with devotees. It is a popular place for black devotees, even if it is not a tourist destination. Because Lord Alarnath is the moving idol of Lord Vishnu.
💥 Alarnath Temple
According to historians, the temple was built in 1126, during the reign of Madan Mahadev, the fourth ruler of the Ganges. The quadrangular Alarnath idol, made of polished black muguni stone, is very adorable on a stone throne set in the middle of the temple plane or the sanctum sanctorum. The idol in its standing form is adorned with conch shells, chakras, mounds, and lotuses. The sculpture of Alarnath, which is delicately carved, has a Dravidian-style sculpture. From time immemorial, worshipers have been performing the services of the Alarnath Mahaprabhu for generations. The idol of Shri Alarnath is made of Kalamuguni stone. There are arches around the statue. The goddess Sridevi, the earth goddess, exists under the arch. The eagle is praying under the feet. Mr. Jiu has a conch shell in his upper left hand and a wheel mark in his right hand. There are piles in the lower left hand and lotus marks in the right hand. Therefore, Shri Alarnath is called the fourth idol Narayan.
Other mythology
There is another mythology about Alarnath. [Satyayuga]] Once upon a time, the creator Brahma once performed great penance to gain the vision of Lord Vishnu. Satisfied with Brahma's asceticism, Lord Vishnu appeared to him in the form of a quadrangle and said, "I am satisfied with your asceticism." You make a square statue of me and worship it here. Following God's command, Brahma built a moving idol of Vishnu in black muguni stone and worshiped there. That statue is now popularly known as Alarnath. The place on which he practiced asceticism was later renamed Brahmagiri. The area was later called Brahmagiri. Similarly, another mythology is that during the reign of King Indradyumna, the creator Brahma came to the earth to establish the temple. The place where he first descended to the earth was later called Brahmagiri. The creator worshiped Vishnu after stepping into the earth. The place where he worshiped Vishnu later became known as Alarnath.
👉 History
The Albar communities from Tamil Nadu set up the fourth idol here and the Brahmins of this community worship the Lord. Purushottam Chandrika reveals that a Tantric Brahmin named Albanda Acharya went to the temple in solakhia bat tree near Swargadwar to visit Jagannath during the fast, and when he went to the temple, he was interrupted and went to the sea. . According to researchers, the name "Alarnath" comes from a Dravidian word. The word Dravidian "alloyer" means devotee. So Aloyarnath is really the lord of devotees. Over time, the word Aloyarnath has been misinterpreted and became popularly known as ‘Alarnath’ in Albandanath, Albarnath, Alalanath and finally the local people. On the other hand, according to the Purushottam Chandrika, a Tantric devotee named Baba Albandacharya, the supreme Tantric, could not be seen due to Ansar when he came to the temple to see the Lord. Entering Ansar's house in the form of an illusion, he entered the house of Ansar. Seeing an eight-party lotus in Ansar's house, Alwanda tried to sit on the lotus, while the petals of the lotus turned into a beautiful woman, mocking the delusion. As a result, Alibandacharya insulted Jagannath's vision and attempted to immerse himself in the sea. Suddenly, a huge eagle jumped in front of him and headed south. Thinking that this was the order of God, he traveled south and reached the Alarnath Peetha in Brahmagiri, where he was shocked to see the stone idol Vishnu. Since then, the Lord or Nath of Al Binda has been renamed Alarnath and later renamed Al Alarnath. Alarnath's temple is an ancient temple with fine carvings.
Alarnath and Chaitanya
In the age of truth, the Lord's leela appeared in Brahmagiri. However, after the mystery had been hidden for a long time, Alarnath's glory was again publicized when he visited the shrine of the great Vaishnava saint Chaitanya. Mr. Chaitanya spent the last 18 years of his life in Shri Kshetra. He used to go to the temple every day to visit Jagannath Mahaprabhu at the Gambhira house in Kashmir. During the Ansar, Birah was devastated by the burning of the Birah without seeing the Lord. At the behest of the Lord, he reached the pedestal of Alarnath in Brahmagiri and was shocked to see the idol of Narayan. Dandavat prostrated himself on a piece of stone lying there. Without seeing Srivigraha, his body was so hot in the flames of Birah that the piece of stone melted according to the size of his body. The stone is still worshiped in the temple precincts. The Vaishnavas of Sri Chaitanya Panti Gaudiya come to this place to pay obeisance to Lord Alarnath and pay homage to that stone. It is well-known as a sacred spiritual place for devotees.

A pot of milk is made from ten shekels of milk. Add the required amount of rice, sugar, cardamom, khis miss, and so on.
The Legend of Milk
There is a beautiful legend about Alarnath's milkshake. How long did Alarnath's priest, who had once served in the service, move to another village? Before leaving, he told his young son to have milk with Thakur. Even though the ignorant boy was completely ignorant of the puja method, he reached out to Thakur with a milk pot and closed his eyes with his shrewd intellect and devotion and said, "Come on, eat khiri, father has gone begging." She later found out that there was no milk in the pot and returned home holding an empty pot and told her everything that had happened to her, but her mother could not believe it. The son's mother could not sleep all night, fearing that the cat may have eaten milk or something else had happened. The next day, the boy's mother, Alarnath, was hiding behind the idol, sending her son with a milk pot. As soon as the boy called on Thakur to eat the milk, Lord Alarnath fell down and ate the milk and cried out in fear of the boy's mother. The hot milk fell on the Lord's hands and face and burst. To this day, local worshipers mark the icon on the idol's face. The locals believe that Lord Alarnath himself smells the milk here, which makes the milk consumption here very tasty and acceptable to all the devotees of India all year round.
