Puri Jagannath Temple Calendar 2026: The administration of Lord Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha has apologized to the people on Wednesday. In fact, inside this grand temple of the 12th century, the calendar which shows Lord Jagannath, Baldev and Subhadra sitting on the Ratna throne in the wrong position has been banned.

The Sri Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) said that the pictures published in the calendar for the year 2026 have been inspired by a century-old palm leaf manuscript preserved in the Odisha State Museum. He said that the artwork printed on the calendar reflects the style of the painter of that period and is not intended to hurt religious sentiments in any way.

SJTA said in a statement that this is the art of a painter of that time. I hope that the devotees of Jagannath Swami will not take it wrong.

Temple authorities ban calendar sale

This decision was taken after huge outrage in the state over depiction of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra as per temple traditions. The administrators associated with the temple have directed the officials to stop the sale of the calendar and publicly apologize for the unintentional mistake made by the administration.

Actually, wrong picture was printed in the table, calendar and wall calendar issued by the temple administration. The image depicts Balabhadra instead of Lord Jagannath, which is against traditions. BJD spokesperson Mohanty said that SJTA had not consulted experts before using the old artwork.

It is deeply disturbing that the newly released Puri Srimandir calendar contains grave inaccuracies in the depiction of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, Devi Subhadra and even the sacred order of the Rath Yatra. Such negligence strikes at the heart of Odia Asmita and wounds our… pic.twitter.com/xdTeCM7Ptw

After what mistakes was the decision taken?

If we talk about mistakes in the calendar, there are many such errors, after seeing which its sale has been banned. Placing images of the Trinity in the wrong place.

It also has a picture of an old Rath Yatra, in which the Darpadalan chariot of Goddess Subhadra is being pulled first, followed by the Nandighosh chariot of Lord Jagannath and finally the Taladhwaj of Balabhadra.

Another mistake is that the images of the Trinity have been published incorrectly. Balabhadra’s picture has been shown in place of Lord Jagannath, and where Balabhadra’s image should have been, Lord Jagannath’s picture has been shown. Many people including the temple servants have strongly criticized these mistakes.

Jagannath Temple eagle viral video: The sight of an eagle circling over the Puri Jagannath Dham temple in Orissa on Friday is going viral on social media. Local people are linking this future with Malika’s predictions.

Some people consider it a divine sign from God and some a warning, while according to temple officials it is just a natural phenomenon, which has rekindled the age-old conversation about omens, faith and the mysteries related to Neelachakra.

Video of eagle in Jagannath Dham goes viral

In recent days, a video of eagles flying over the Jagannath temple has given rise to many such theories, which people are linking to mythological stories of Hindu religion, local beliefs and warnings from the future owner.

This is also being done because in the viral video, hundreds of birds are seen circling above Neel Chakra.

Actually, Bhavishya Malika is a text related to predictions, which was written in the 1400s by five saints of Orissa, also known as Panchasakhas, under the guidance of Lord Jagannath. Bhavishya Malika is basically a handwriting written on palm leaves, which mentions unheard and mysterious events related to the future. Along with this, the end of Kaliyuga to the beginning of Satyayuga has also been mentioned in it.

Arrival of birds is a sign of natural disaster.

According to Bhavishya Malika Granth, repeated appearance of birds like eagles on the temple flag can be a sign of a big problem like natural disaster or war. This may sound unusual, but it is believed that due to the protection of Garuda, birds do not go to the sky of the temple.

While some people consider it an inauspicious sign regarding eagles circling over the temple, some people consider it an auspicious sign. This is because many devotees consider the eagle to be a sacred bird associated with Garuda, the vehicle of Lord Vishnu. Regarding the viral video, he believes that these birds bring auspicious signs and blessings to the temple.

Statement of temple officials on viral video

The statement of the temple officials regarding this incident has also come out. According to him, the eagle circling on the top of the temple is just a natural phenomenon. Which somehow tells us that the predictions related to these theories can only be a natural phenomenon in today’s times.

Lord Jagannath sits with his brother Balram and sister Subhadra in the Puri Jagannath temple. Lord Jagannath is also called the Lord of Kaliyuga. The hymns and form of Jagannath Swami are quite charming. There are many things related to the temple which may surprise you.

10 secrets of Jagannath Dham that make this temple special?

The flag on the top of the temple always waves in the opposite direction to the wind, which surprises everyone.

The Neel Chakra installed on the top of the temple is also full of mysteries in itself. Whichever direction you look at it, you will feel as if it is looking at you.

When entering the temple through the lion gate, the sound of the sea waves can be clearly heard, whereas when standing outside, the sound is not heard clearly.

The shadow of the main peak of the temple never falls on the ground, which is a clear example of architecture.

The idol of Lord Jagannath, brother Balram and sister Subhadra in Jagannath Dham temple is incomplete. This is because King Vishwakarma had stopped it midway.

The kitchen of the temple is also full of mysteries, where 56 types of food are cooked on more than 400 stoves. The most surprising thing is that, among the seven earthen pots, the food in the topmost pot gets cooked first, while the bottommost one cooks last.

There is also a belief about the temple that no bird flies over the temple because Lord Garuda protects them.

The flag on the top of the temple changes daily, whose weight is more than 30 kg. If the flag on the top of the temple is not changed even for a single day, the temple may remain closed for 18 years.

According to Skanda Purana, by visiting Jagannath Dham a person becomes free from the cycle of death and life.

Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, Odisha is ready for the India-South Africa T20 match. There is a village just 40 kilometers away from this stadium where cricket is still ‘taboo’. Nuagadh village of Jagatsinghpur district was once considered the stronghold of cricket. In the same village, for the last 21 years, he is afraid of even touching the bat and ball. The reason is that dark afternoon of March 1, 2004, which snatched away the entire cricket team from the entire village.

The tragic incident of 2004 that changed the village

13 young players of Nuagadh, Utkalmani Cricket Club team, were going to Mahakalapara to play in the final of the local tournament. The road was full of water. The boat capsized at Bahkuda Ghat of Mahanadi, and all the 13 players drowned in the river. After this heart-wrenching incident, the village took a collective decision that cricket will no longer be played here. No matches, no tournaments, no celebrations… just silence in the name of sports.

Pain was handled by making a memorial

Three years after the incident, in 2007, the villagers came together to build a memorial. A tower with the names of all 13 players engraved on it. This tower stands in the middle of the village, as if reminding every day what cricket has taken away from them.

pain of widows

The most pain is in those homes from where young sons and men left together. Biswajit Ray’s wife, Rosalini, still cannot forget that day. She said, “Only a few months had passed since my marriage. My husband was both a batsman and a bowler. He loved cricket so much that it took his life.”

The Supreme Court on Tuesday (November 18, 2025) withdrew an old order by a three-judge bench of Chief Justice Bhushan Ramakrishna Gavai (CJI BR Gavai), due to which a judge got angry. The court withdrew its May 16 verdict in the Vanshakti case, in which it had ordered the demolition of all constructions in cases where environmental clearance was taken after construction. The bench of CJI BR Gavai, Justice K Vinod Chandran and Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan gave this decision with a majority (2:1). Justice Bhuiyan did not agree on this and expressed strong disagreement with the majority decision.

CJI Gavai wrote the judgment in 84 pages, while Justice Bhuyan expressed his dissent in 97 pages. With this decision of the court, the threat of demolition of many important public infrastructure projects across the country including AIIMS in Odisha has been averted.

The decision, taken by a majority (2:1) bench of CJI Gavai and Justice Vinod K Chandran, said that if the May 16 order is not withdrawn, it will result in the demolition of various buildings, projects constructed with public money worth about Rs 20,000 crore, PTI reported. The decision of May 16 was given by Justice Abhay S. It was given by the bench of Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan.

The decision cited the potentially devastating impact on projects of national importance, including a 962-bed hospital at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Odisha and a greenfield airport. During the hearing, the Center submitted a list of projects which are stalled and whose existence is in danger.

Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan has termed the CJI’s recall judgment as ignoring the basic principles of environmental jurisprudence and a step towards retrogression. In its order dated May 16, the bench of Justice Bhuiyan and Justice Oka had declared post-facto environmental clearance (approval given later) illegal and ordered the demolition of such constructions. Also, the government was stopped from giving such approval.

A review petition was filed in the court challenging the order of May 16, on which the bench of CJI Gavai withdrew the order of May 16. Justice Bhuiyan has written a 97-page dissenting judgment, in which he has expressed strong disagreement with the decision of CJI Gavai. He wrote, ‘The precautionary principle is the cornerstone of environmental jurisprudence. There is only the principle of compensation for polluters. The precautionary principle cannot be ignored through polluters pay. The review judgment is a step backward in the direction of environmental protection. Justice Bhuiyan called the majority decision an innocent expression of opinion which ignores the basic principles of environmental jurisprudence.

The third judge of the bench, Justice K Vinod Chandran, also wrote his judgment separately and said that dissent is part of the democratic judicial process, but it should be done rising above one’s personal conviction of right and wrong. Criticizing the order of May 16, he said that it ignored the powers and legal principles granted under the Environmental Protection Act. He described the review as appropriate, mandatory and prompt.
