What are some surprising things of Lord Jagannath, Puri?

 

Lord Jagannath has a proverbial sweet tooth.

No wonder, he is offered various sweets by devotees during Rath Yatra in Puri, Odisha.

Visit : Sri Jagannath Yatra means ceremonial visit of Lord Jagannath , Lord Balbhadra ji and Goddess Subhadra to meet his devotees.

Priests and devotees generally offer Khaja as Naivedya Bhog to Lord.

Stay : Well, they also stay at the home of their maternal aunt Gundicha Mausi.

This trio is proverbially fed with Chena Poda pitha among various sweets by their doting aunt.

Return : After their grand visit , this trio returns to their palatial shrine.

Nevertheless, Goddess Lakshmi is angry on being ignored during these grand festivities.

Lord Jagannath ritually offers Rasugulla to Goddess Sri Lakshmi to appease her.

Fact : Well, Lord Jagannath ji also loves Kheer (Payasam)

Prayer : Sri Ganeshaya Namah Jai Balbhadra ji Subhadra ji Jagannath ji !
