Sacred Arrival: Lord Jagannath’s Special Place in Jasra

“When Jagadish came back from his bath [in Ganga near Jasra] he saw Jagannath sitting on the ground and realised that the Lord wanted to stay on that very spot. He immediately started worshipping him there and never even thought of going back to his family in Mayapur. The news soon spread and Jagadish’s entire family moved from Mayapur to Chakdaha…When the local people heard that Lord Jagannath had come from Puri to stay in Jasra, thousands flocked to seek His darshan.” #SwacchTeerth
