Jagannath Temple's Shadow Mystery: Why Visitors Believe It Disappears

The Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, is a very special and old temple in India.

Many people believe that the tall tower of the temple, which is 214 feet high, does not cast a shadow on the ground at any time of the day.

This mystery has fascinated visitors for a long time.

Experts say that the temple's unique design and the way it is built might make the shadow fall on the temple itself instead of the ground.

For many devotees, this is seen as a divine miracle, while scientists explain it as an optical illusion.

The temple is also famous for its annual Rath Yatra festival, which started on July 16, 2024.

This festival is a big celebration where the deity is taken out in a chariot to bless everyone, showing that the divine is accessible to all.
