Jagannathah swami nayana-patha-gami bhavatu me…
“O Lord of the universe, kindly be visible unto me.”

Padma(Lotus) Kshetra – Konarak
Cakra(Disc) Kshetra – Bhuvaneshwar
Gada(Mace) Kshetra – Jajpur
That bewitching pair of big smiling eyes looking out from every wall, every billboard, every poster, every calendar, every wedding invitation, every sticker, every button, every bead bag, every taxi and rickshaw, every windshield, every t-shirt, every shoulder bag – “This is Sri Jagannatha Puri Dham”, one of India’s most popular Dham.
There is a saying that “The Lord bathes at Rameshwaram. He meditates at Badrinath. He enjoys the delicious offerings at Jagannatha Puri and He rules in Dwaraka.
The city of Puri, also called as Jagannatha Puri, Nilacala and Sri Ksetra, is considered to be equal to Vrindavana and Navadvipa, a sacred Vaisnava holy place. For thousands of years, great sages and other exalted persons have travelled to Puri on pilgrimage. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu chose to reside here for the last eighteen years of His life.
The city is shaped like the shadow of a conch-shell. In the center of the conch-shell shadow, there is a portion of raised ground called Nilgiri or “the blue hill.” On the crest of Nilgiri stands an imposing temple complex dedicated to Vishnu as Jagannath, “the Lord of the Universe.” In Sanskrit “jagat” means the universe, and “natha” means the maintainer.
