ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ ମନ୍ଦିର ଓଡ଼ିଶାରେ ଅତ୍ୟଂଶ ଧାର୍ମିକ ପଳାଇତାଳୁ ମନ୍ଦିର ଗୋଠାଇଛି, ଯାହାକୁ ପୁରୀ ଶହରରେ ଷୋଢ ମିଲିଯାଏ। ଏହା ବାକ୍ୟରେ ଚାରି ଧାମ ରାମେଶ୍ଵରମ୍‌, ଦ୍ୱାରକା, ବଦ୍ରୀନାଥ ସହ ସଂଯୁକ୍ତ ହୋଇଥାଏ।

କାହାଣୀରେ, ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ ମନ୍ଦିରର ନିର୍ମାଣ ରାଜା ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରଦ୍ୟୁମ୍ନ ନାମକ ଏକ ରାଜାଙ୍କ ଦ୍ଵାରା ହୋଇଥାଏ। ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରଦ୍ୟୁମ୍ନ ରାଜା ଏକ ଧାର୍ମିକ ଓ ଭକ୍ତିପରାୟଣ ରାଜା ଛିଲେ ଏବଂ ଭଗଵାନ ବିଷ୍ଣୁଙ୍କୁ ଭକ୍ତି କରୁଅଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ଅତ୍ୟଂଶରେ ସ୍ଵପ୍ନରେ ଦେଖିଛନ୍ତି ଯେ ଭଗବାନ ବିଷ୍ଣୁଙ୍କୁ ଏକ କାଠିର ଶିଲାରେ ଅବସ୍ଥିତ ଅଛନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ସେ ଶିଲାରେ ଭଗବାନଙ୍କୁ ପୂଜା କରିବାର ଆଦେଶ ଦେଇଛନ୍ତି।

ରାଜା ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରଦ୍ୟୁମ୍ନ ଏହା ଦେଖି ଭାଗ୍ଯ ସମଝିପାରେ ନାହିଁ, ଏବଂ ସେ ତା'ଙ୍କ ସମସ୍ତ ମନ୍ତ୍ରି ଏବଂ ପୁରୋହିତଙ୍କୁ ଏହା ସମ୍ବଂଧୀରେ ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ କରିଛନ୍ତି, କିନ୍ତୁ ସେମାନେ ପ୍ରସ୍ତାବିତ ହେଉନ୍ଥିବା ସ୍ଵପ୍ନର ଅର୍ଥ ପାଇଁ ସଂଘର୍ଷ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ତାହାଂକୁ ପାଇବାକୁ ତାଙ୍କ ସମସ୍ତ ମନ୍ତ୍ରି ଏବଂ ପୁରୋହିତ ଅଗ୍ରାହ୍ୟ ଥିଲେ। ତେଉଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ମନ୍ତ୍ରି ଓ ପୁରୋହିତ ତାଙ୍କ ପ୍ରସ୍ତାବିତ ଶିଲାର ପ୍ରତିଷ୍ଠାପନ କରିଦେବ।

ସେତୁ ପର, ରାଜା ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରଦ୍ୟୁମ୍ନ ନାମକ ରାଜା ତାଙ୍କ ରାଜମହଲରେ ଏକ ବିଶାଳକୁ ମନ୍ଦିର ନିର୍ମାଣ କରିଦିଆଏ, ଏବଂ ଭଗବାନ ବିଷ୍ଣୁଙ୍କୁ ସେ ଶିଲାରେ ଅବସ୍ଥିତ କରିଦିଆଏ। ଏଇ ଭାବରେ, ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ ମନ୍ଦିରର ନିର୍ମାଣ ହୋଇଥାଏ।

ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ ମନ୍ଦିରରେ ଭଗଵାନ ଜଗନ୍ନାଥଙ୍କ ସାଥେ ସମବନ୍ଧିତ ଭାଈ ବଳଭଦ୍ର ଏବଂ ବହିନୀ ସୁଭଦ୍ରାଙ୍କ ଭଗବାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତିମା ଅବସ୍ଥିତ କରାଯାଇଥାଏ। ପ୍ରତିବର୍ଷି ରଥଯାତ୍ରା ଯାତ୍ରା ଏହାର ଭାଗରେ ହୋଇଥାଏ, ଯାରେ ଭଗବାନ ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ, ବଳଭଦ୍ର ଏବଂ ସୁଭଦ୍ରାଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତିମା ରଥରେ ଚଢ଼ାକର ପୁରୀ ନଗରରେ ଆନ୍ଦୋଳିତ କରାଯାଇଥାଏ। ଏହି ରଥ ଯାତ୍ରା ଲକ୍ଷାଉପରେ ଭକ୍ତମାନଙ୍କର ସହ ଧାର୍ମିକ ଆଯୋଜନଗୁଡିକ ସହିତ ଯୋଗ କରାଯାଇଥାଏ।
