Puri Temple (India)

As India is the land of million mysteries, Here I am going to present one of amazing mysteries of a Temple9. Puri Temple of lord jagannath is one of Most popular pilgrimage site for Hindus across the world. here are few mysteries of the temple. 

1. The Brahma Inside the Idol .
Every 12 years the Brahma which resides inside Lord Jagannath's Idol is transferred to a new set of Idols. This ritual has been going on since thousand of years, but nobody has seen the Brahman, Its is told that when Lord krishna's body was cremated after his departure, Fire could not burn his Heart, And the Brahma inside Lord Jagannath's Idol is nothing but Lord krishna's heart !

2. The flag on top of temple always floats in opposite direction of wind.

3. You cannot see any bird flying over the Puri Jagganath Temple.


4.  The Shadow of the main dome(Dhwaja stambha) cannot be seen at any time of the day.

5. The prasadam prepared on a single day never gets wasted or shortfalls ever. Whether a surplus number of people visit the temple or less it fulfills all.

6. In the Temple kitchen, 7 pots are kept  one on top of another and cooked on firewood. In this process the contents in the top pot get cooked first & then the bottom one.

7. After entering from Singhadwara’s first step (from inside of the Temple), you cannot hear any sound produced by the ocean. But, when you cross the same step (from outside of the Temple) you  can hear it. This can be noticed clearly during evening.
