Jagannath is a form of Shri Krishna, the complete art avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. Their one big temple is located in the city of Puri in the state of Odisha. The city derives its name from Jagannath Puri. The Rath Yatra festival is also held here annually. Puri is counted in the Char Dham of Hinduism.
There are two interesting stories related to Jagannath. In the first story, Shri Krishna came in the dream of his supreme devotee Raj Indradyumna and ordered him to make the Deity of Shri Krishna out of the trunk of a tree lying on the river side of Puri. Raj started looking for a skilled carpenter for this task. A few days later a mysterious old Brahmin came and said that he wants to take the responsibility of making the Deity of the Lord. But he had one condition – that he would make the Deity in the closed room and no one would open the door of the room until his work was finished, otherwise he would leave the work unfinished. 6-7 days later, when the voice of working ceased, he could not keep up with the king and thinking that something must have happened to the Brahmin, he opened the door. But inside, only the incomplete Deity of God was found and the old Brahmin had disappeared. Then the king realized that Brahmins were none other than Vishwakarma, the architect of the gods. The king was shocked because the Deity did not have arms and legs and began to regret why he opened the door. But then Narada Muni came in the form of a Brahmin and he told the king that God wanted to incarnate in this form and the thought of opening the door was put by Shri Krishna himself in the mind of the king. Therefore, there is no reason for him to contemplate shock and he should be restless because all is Krishna’s wish.
The second story is from the Mahabharata and tells what is the secret of Jagannath’s form. Mother Yashoda, Subhadra and Devaki ji came from Vrindavan to Dwarka. The queens requested him to tell them about Shri Krishna’s Bal Lilao. Subhadra ji was guarding the gate, that if Krishna and Balarama come, then they will warn everyone. But she too became so engrossed in listening to Krishna’s Bal Leelao, that she had no idea of Krishna Balarama’s arrival. What they heard from both brothers, they got so much pleasure from it that their hair grew straight, their eyes grew big, their lips smelled a lot and their bodies started melting in the loving atmosphere of devotion. Subhadra became very emotional, so his body melted the most (and that’s why his height is the smallest in Jagannath’s temple). Then Narada Muni came and everyone came back in a huff. Seeing this form of Shri Krishna, Narada said, “Lord, how beautiful you look. When will you take an avatar in this form?” Krishna replied during the times of Kalyug and eventually took the form of Jagannath on earth in Kalyug.
