Origin of Lord Jagannath

The story begins at the end of ‘Dwaapar Era’. Lord Krishna slept in the bushes of a creeper named ‘Sheeaali’, keeping his feet outside. His bottom feet were soft pink in color. It looked like the ear of a deer. A tribal named ‘Jaaraa’ was searching for a hunt. When he saw the feet of Lord Krishna from a distance, he thought it might be the ears of a deer. He shot an arrow that fatally injured Lord Krishna. When he came to know the real thing, he was repentantly crying out and started bashing himself. Lord Krishna Smiling explained to him, Oh…Jaaraa, don’t cry. It was a part of my creation. I bless, I will be worshiped by your Descendants in Kali Era. After this Lord Krishna’s soul abandoned his body. Time passed over time and the Dwaapar Era finished.

                  Now it’s time to begin an Era named ‘Kali’. In this era a king Named Indradyumna was ruling over ‘Maalava’ kingdom. He was a great devotee of lord Vishnu. He always used to wish Lord Vishnu in front of him. Once he called all saints to his king’s court and opened the heart's words in front of them.

In one of that mountain caves tribal king ‘Biswaabasu’ worships ‘Neelamaadhab’ who is the self lord Vishnu." After said this, sage ‘Jatila’ disappeared.

King Indradyumna was so excited. But now the problem was, nobody knows the way to that mountain. So he called his royal court members and ministers. After hearing all the talk, one of his priests assured the king My Lord! Do not worry. My younger brother ‘Vidyaapati’ knows most of all pilgrimage places. He can get you to that place. Kind Indradyumna was very happy. He called Bidyaapati and with respect sent him in search of Lord.

Next morning, Bidyaapati went out to search of divine Lord. He reached near the jurisdiction of the vast territory Udra kingdom after facing too many troubles and difficulties in the long journey trip. Seeing such a large empire, he got nervous. For some time, it seemed impossible to reach the destination. He sat down and wondered how to reach the destination. He was not
