✨ "When Love Defeats the Lord Himself!" ✨
Every Kartik month in Puri, Lord Jagannath plays Kaudi Khela (Cowrie Game) with Devi Lakshmi.
Round after round, the Lord loses — his jewels, his ornaments, his pride... until nothing remains but himself.
In surrender, he offers his very being to Maa Lakshmi — a divine reminder that love and devotion conquer all. 💛

🎐 A game that’s not just play… it’s surrender, devotion, and eternal love.

Devi Durga’s Blessing: The Turning Point in the Ramayana

“Akal Bodhon – When Devotion Awakens the Divine.”

"Before the war with Ravana, Rama invoked Maa Durga in an untimely awakening—Akal Bodhon. With 108 blue lotuses, his devotion touched the divine. When the last lotus was hidden, he offered his own eye. Moved by his bhakti, the Goddess blessed him, leading to Ravana’s downfall. 🌺✨

✨🌸 Day 1 of Navratri – Shailaputri x Maa Taratarini 🌸✨

On this first day of Navratri, we honor Maa Shailaputri, the daughter of the mountains – a symbol of strength, grounding, and divine motherhood.

In Odisha, this form beautifully resonates with Maa Taratarini, the Adi Shakti of Tara Hill, revered as one of the oldest Shakti Peethas. Seated atop the serene hills with the Rushikulya river flowing below, Maa Taratarini embodies the same mountain-born power, stability, and grace as Shailaputri.

May her blessings give us strength and courage as we begin our Navratri journey. 🌺

ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ଗଢ଼ିଥିବା ସେହି ଦିବ୍ୟ ସୃଷ୍ଟିକାର – ବିଶ୍ୱକର୍ମା।
ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ, ବଳଭଦ୍ର ଓ ସୁଭଦ୍ରାଙ୍କ ଦାରୁମୂର୍ତ୍ତି ସୃଷ୍ଟିରୁ କୋଣାର୍କର ଚକ୍ର ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ,ସମସ୍ତ କାରିଗରଙ୍କ ହାତରେ ଆଜି ମଧ୍ୟ ବିଶ୍ୱକର୍ମାଙ୍କ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ ଅଛି।”

On Biswakarma Puja, we remember the divine architect who carved not only temples and chariots but also gave form to Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra & Subhadra. In every tool, every craft, his spirit lives on. ✨

Janmastami ( where God gives birth to himself )

|| ଦେବକୀ ଭାବରେ କୃଷ୍ଣ ଜନ୍ମ ଦେଉ ||
|| କୌଶଲ୍ୟା ରୂପରେ ରାମ ||
|| ସୁନା ଜୁଡ଼ା ବାନ୍ଧି ବାଙ୍କ ଚୁଳ ପରେ ||
|| ନାରୀ ବେଶେ ଘନ ଶ୍ୟାମ ||

Lord Krishna is considered as the 8th incarnation of the Lord Vishnu. Here in Puri though Lord Jagannath is considered as the Lord Krishna, actually, He is the mother of all incarnations.

Shree Jagannath is Avatari from whom all the Avatars take birth, according to puranas.

Therefore, Lord Krishna is also born from Lord Jagannath. The special ritual at the 12th century shrine, continued the age-old tradition.

A day before the Janmashtami, when Lord Krishna takes birth, Lord Jagannath is considered as mata Devaki and offered the “Jeuda Bhog”, a medicinal package given to the pregnant women for safe and painless delivery of the child.

It is believed that ‘Jeuda Bhoga’ provides relief to the deity from labour pain. Later, Lord Jagannath considered as mata Devaki gives birth to Lord Krishna and from the next day, he himself as Krishna do all the rituals.
