EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and spiritual significance of the Temple of Jagannath in Puri, Orissa, India, a site of pilgrimage and historical importance since the 13th century. The temple, dedicated to Lord Jagannath and his siblings, is believed to have been established by King Indradyumna and is one of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites in India. The name Jagannath is derived from the Sanskrit words Jagat-Natha, meaning 'Lord of the Universe.' The image, taken in 1891, showcases the intricately carved wooden temple chariot, which is pulled during the annual Rath Yatra or Car Festival. The temple architecture is a fusion of Dravidian, Nagara, and Tantric styles, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of India. The temple complex is surrounded by lush greenery, adding to its serene ambiance. The Temple of Jagannath holds a significant place in Indian history and mythology. It is said that the deities of Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra, are brought out of the temple every year during the Rath Yatra and are taken on a procession to the Gundicha Temple, where they stay for nine days before returning to their abode. This tradition is believed to have been started by Lord Krishna himself, as mentioned in the Mahabharata. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when traditions and rituals were deeply rooted in the lives of people, and the Temple of Jagannath stood as a beacon of faith and devotion. This image is a testament to the enduring power of history and the strength of human spirit, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical and cultural photographs.
