King Indradyumna
started the temple of Jagannatha in Odisha at Puri and he wanted to establish a
picture in the temple of Jagannath (Krishna), Subhadra & Balarama coming to
Kurukshetra in the chariot during solar eclipse. He employed Viswakarma to
carve them from wood but Viswakarma made a contract with king that he will work
behind closed door and king will not disturb him. But the King was very
impatient to see, opened the door. So he stopped carving, but the king saw it
is half finished. He decided to install these deities in the temple. Since
then, the three deities Jagannatha, Balarama and Subhadra are being worshiped
at Puri.
Shree Jagannath is called Patitapaban because he does not differentiate between people of different caste, colour and sex. Everyone is equal before his eyes. The Gajapati(King master of elephants) of Puri is the first servant of lord Jagannath. He has to sweep the chariots in public,this shows the king & sweeper all are equal.
The lord also accepted a coconut from a lower caste devotee, whose name is Dasia. The muslim devotee, Salbeg is one of his favourite and loved him, others are Balaram Dash, Jagannath Dash also.
The war of Kanchi shows his love for devotees. Always he has behaved like an ordinary. This shows his love to mankind. He is the human God.
Odisha is known as the country of Shree Jagannath. The king of Odisha addressed as Thakur Raja (A king by God). All cultural events revolve around Shree Jagannath. Here 13 festivals are observed in 12 months and festivals are celebrated in a calendar year relating to Lord Jagannath are: Car Festival (Ratha Yatra), Chandan Yatra, Gosani Yatra, Sahi Yatra, Maha Shiva Ratri, Magha Mela, Boita Bandan, Harirajpur Melan, Jhamu Yatra (Kakatapur), Dayana chori, Aunla Navami, Makar Mela, Bali Harachandi Mela, Anabasar Yatra Alaranath Pitha and Siruli Mahavir Mela etc.
