Sinhadwar At Puri Temple

After entering Sinhadwara's first step (inside the temple), you can't hear any sound produced by the ocean but when you cross the same step (outside the temple), you can hear it. This can be noticed during the evening.

Food Pots

In the Temple Kitchen, 7 pots are kept on each other and food is prepared on firewood. In this process, the content in the top pot gets cooked first and then the bottom one.

Prasadam/Food Quantity

The quantity of cooked food inside the Temple remains the same for the whole year. And interestingly, the same Prasadam quantity can feed as many as 20 lakh devotees and yet not get wasted.

Dome Shadow

The shadow of the main Dome remains invisible at any time of the day.

No Birds Or Planes

No birds or planes fly above the Jagannath Puri Temple.

Sudarshan Chakra

From any place in Puri, you will always find the Sudarshan Chakra facing you.
