Jagannath, Lord of
the world, is the name given to a particular form of Vishnu,
or more accurately, that of Shree Krishna. The image of
this God has no legs, and only stumps of arms. Together with Jagannath (Krishna) are
seated his brother Balram and sister
Subhadra. The later two images also do not have legs and hands.
These three images are worshipped in the same form in all the Jagannath temples, situated
mostly in the eastern parts of India. But Puri, near the town of Cuttack, in the
sate of Orissa, is considered to be the real abode of Lord Jagannath and the chief center
of its worship is a great temple complex in that city. Three big statues of Shree Krishna,
Balram and Subhadra are enshrined in this temple. |
