Incredible View of Jagannath Temple #Puri Jagannath Swami Nayana Pathagami Bhawatume . The Peace ☮️ I can feel Looking at this Picture is priceless ๐Ÿ˜ Imagine on a fresh morning looking at the flags and enjoying the birds singing and the cool breeze playing with the hair.❤️ Jay Jagannath ๐Ÿ™ The metal wheel at the top of Lord #JagannathTemple is known as Neela Chakra (Blue Wheel). The wheel is made of eight metals comprising of iron, copper, zinc, mercury, lead, brass, silver and gold. It's circumferance is about 36 feet and it is so designed that there is a wheel within the wheel. The circumferance of the inner wheel is about 26 feet. Eight hubs join together the inner and the outer wheels. There are decorative designs on the outer wheel. The thickness of the Neela Chakra is 2 inches. The wheel is said to be Lord Vishnu's most powerful weapon, Sudarshana Chakra (disk). Inside Lord Jagannath temple, Lord Vishnu's wheel is also worshipped in the name of 'Sudarshana'. But inside the temple Sudarshana is not in the shape of a wheel, but in the shape of a small wood pillar placed to the left of image of Lord Jagannath. It is believed that the same Sudarshana is also at the top of the temple and is known by the name of Neela Chakra. There is a specific category of people among the temple sevayats to serve the Neela Chakra and they are known as Garuda Sevaka or Chunara Nejoga. The pilgrims hold these sevayats in high esteem because every day at Sunset the Garuda Sevakas climb to the top of 214 feet high temple to fasten flags , offered by the devotees, on the bamboo mast attached to the Neela Chakra. The pole attached to the Neela Chakra is 38 feet long. After covering the breadth of the Neela Chakra, this pole extends 25 feet high above it.

The Govind Dev temple is one of the oldest temples present in #Vrindavan. The temple was built by Raja Maan Singh in the 16th century following an indo-islamic style of architecture which was prevalent at the time. The idol once enshrined here has a deep significance and was excavated by saint Chitanya Mahaprabhu’s disciple, later to be moved to a temple in #Jaipur for safety where it is present today.

Ganpati temple in #Kanipakam village, located in #Chittoor district of the Indian state of #AndhraPradesh Temple was established in the early 11th century CE by the Chola king Kulothunga Chola I and was enhanced even more in 1336 by the Emperors of Vijayanagara dynasty. Years ago there lived three brothers in a village near viharipura, one of them was blind, one deaf and the other dumb. One day they were drawing water from well and water dried out. Hense they started digging down and were shocked to see blood oozing from the ground. On further excavation it was found to be "UDHBHAVA GANAPATI SWAMY" Brothers worshipped ganapa and got rid of their physical defects. Whole village worshipped ganapathi by offering coconuts. The coconut water started flowing into a stream, to a distance of more than one and a quarter acres. This phenomenon led to the coinage of the word "KANIPAKAM" where "Kani"means wetland and "Pakam" means flow of water into wetland. *The waters of the holy well never dry up *Lord Vinayak idol of Kanipakam is reportedly growing in size with the passage of time. Currently, only the knees and abdomen of the idol are visible. Old silver kavachas wont fit him now. *Another interesting aspect of Kanipakam is the Bahuda River, that flows near vinayaka temple. Two brothers 'sanaka' and 'likitha' were travelling to kanipakam for piligrimage. Likitha gave in for hunger and without permission plucked a mango from nearby farm. Duty bound sanaka informed this to local king. As a punishment,king chopped of likithas arm. Later.. on reaching temple and taking holy dip in well/kalyani , likitha got his arms back. Soon after this incident, the ruler of that place named the river as Bahuda Bahu means arms and Da means giver.. Do visit ๐Ÿค— and be blessed.
