Jai Jagannath! The Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, is not just a holy shrine but a place where science seems to bow down to divinity. For centuries, this temple has witnessed phenomena that remain unexplained by modern science.

1. The Flag Defies Nature

Usually, a flag flies in the direction of the wind. However, the flag atop the Jagannath Temple dome always flies in the opposite direction to the wind. It is a daily ritual for a priest to climb the 45-story high dome to change the flag, a tradition unbroken for 1800 years.

2. The Sudarshan Chakra Mystery

The Sudarshan Chakra at the top of the temple weighs about a ton. The mystery lies in its engineering—no matter from which corner of Puri you look at it, the Chakra always faces you.

3. No Shadow & No Birds

It is said that the main dome of the temple casts no shadow at any time of the day. Furthermore, while birds are seen sitting on other temples, no bird or airplane ever flies above the Jagannath Temple dome.

4. The Miraculous Prasadam (Mahaprasad)

The food is cooked in earthen pots kept one on top of another. Surprisingly, the food in the topmost pot cooks first. Also, the quantity of food cooked remains the same daily, yet it never falls short for lakhs of devotees, nor does a single grain go to waste.
