भगवान जगन्नाथ अपना ही मंदिर छोड़कर इस खाली मंदिर में क्यों आते हैं? 😳 #shorts #facts

Do you know that there is a temple in India which remains almost empty throughout the year but Lord Jagannath himself comes to stay there for only a few days in the year. Why after all? This is Gundicha Temple. A temple where there is no main idol present for most of the year. But as soon as the

Jagannath Rath Yatra begins, the whole thing changes. Lakhs of devotees come to see off the Lord at this temple with his chariot [music]. But the question is why does God leave his own grand temple and come here ? According to the ancient tradition of Orissa, this temple is believed to be associated with Queen Gundicha. It is

said that pleased with the queen's devotion, Lord Jagannath had promised that he would definitely come to meet her every year. For this reason, during the Rath Yatra, the Lord resides in the Gundicha Temple for a few days. Another ancient belief also says that this is the holy place where the divine craftsman Vishwakarma performed the

leela of creating the wooden idols of Lord Jagannath. However, this belief is not equally accepted in all traditions. But the most wonderful scene is when the Lord returns back to his main temple [music]. The entire Puri turns out to bid them farewell. As if one's most beloved guest is leaving the house. Perhaps

this is why Jagannath Rath Yatra is not just a festival but an annual reunion between the Lord and his devotees. If you came to know this secret of Gundicha Temple for the first time today, then write Jai Jagannath in the comment.
