Producer Ektaa Kapoor, amid the roaring success of her latest release "The Sabarmati Report", visited Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, to seek blessings.
Ektaa took to her Instagram account, where she shared a reel of herself from her visit to the temple, which is one of the 108 Abhimana Kshethram of the Vaishnavite tradition.
The clip featured the glimpses of the temple, Ektaa with her forehead adorned with the holy teeka along with taking a buggy ride to the temple. "#jaganathpuri JAI GOVINDAAAA," she captioned the post.
The Jagannath Temple is dedicated to the Lord Jagannath, a form of Vishnu and two of his siblings, Balaram and Subhadra. As per temple records, King Indradyumna of Avanti built the main temple of Jagannath at Puri. The temple is famous for its annual Ratha Yatra, or chariot festival to honour the three Gods, in which the three principal deities are pulled on huge and elaborately decorated raths.
The image of Jagannath is made of wood, and is ceremoniously replaced every 12 or 19 years by an exact replica. The temple is one of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites and is famous because many legends believe that Lord Krishna's heart was placed here.
