7 Jagannath Temple Mysteries That Will Blow Your Mind


The flag on top of the Jagannath Temple always floats in the opposite direction of the wind. It is one of the most unbelievable and mysterious phenomena.



The temple, which was built in the 12th Century AD, has no shadow. While some people believe that it's a supernatural phenomenon, others say that the temple is engineered in such a way that it doesn't cast any shadow.

The architectural technique or a divine power? The giant Nila Chakra, which is made up of 8 alloys, is placed at the pinnacle of the temple in such a way that no matter from where you look at it, the chakra will always face you.



In coastal areas, the breeze blows from the sea towards the land during the daytime, and at night, the wind blows from the land towards the sea. But near the Jagannath Temple in Puri, it's the opposite.


Another strange thing about the temple is that you will never see a bird or any other flying object over the temple.



Another mysterious fact about Jagannath Temple is that it is soundproof. You will hear the sound of the ocean everywhere in the temple, but as you step inside the temple through the Singha gate, the sound of the waves vanishes.



The way the prasadam is cooked is another intriguing thing about the temple. The food is cooked in seven earthen pots over firewood kept on top of each other. What's interesting here is that instead of the bottom one, the food in the topmost pot gets cooked first.
