Sevakas are individuals who are responsible for performing ritual services, known as seva-puja, in a temple. Some scholars believe that King Anangabhima Dev of the 13th century created 36 categories of sevakas, referred to as chatisanijog. Over time, the number of sevakas and the associations they belong to, known as nijogs, have grown and additional ritual services have been introduced since the 17th century. The Record of Rights of the Shree Jagannatha Temple includes a list of the various classes of sevakas and other individuals involved in the seva puja and management of the temple.

कोई मुझे बताएगा कि मैं सिर्फ जगन्नाथ को अपने घर पे ला सकता हूं | या तीनो को साथ ही लाना होता है?

जगन्नाथ जी, जिन्हें लॉर्ड जगन्नाथ के रूप में जाना जाता है, को मुख्य रूप से ओडिशा राज्य में और जगन्नाथ परंपरा के भक्तों द्वारा पूजा जाता है। जगन्नाथ को आमतौर पर उनके भाई बलभद्र (बलराम) और बहन सुभद्रा के साथ दिखाया जाता है। वे सामंजस्यपूर्ण रूप में भगवान जगन्नाथ के साथ माने जाते हैं और परंपरागत पूजा में अलग नहीं किए जा सकते हैं। जगन्नाथ परंपरा में, घर पर केवल देवता में से किसी एक को रखना आमतौर पर आदतन नहीं होता है। ये देवताएं एक दिव्य परिवार के रूप में मानी जाती हैं, और उनकी पूजा के साथ तीनों देवताओं को शामिल किया जाता है। उनकी पूजा के साथ विशिष्ट रीति-रिवाज़ और आचारण जुड़े होते हैं जिसमें तीनों देवताएं शामिल होती हैं। यदि आप अपने घर में जगन्नाथ जी की पूजा के लिए एक प्रतिमा या मूर्ति रखना चाहते हैं, तो सामान्यत: जगन्नाथ जी के साथ बलभद्र और सुभद्रा की मूर्तियों या छवियों को भी साथ में रखने की सिफारिश की जाती है ताकि पारंपरिक श्रद्धा बनी रह सके। इसके अलावा, जगन्नाथ परंपरा के पूजा के साथ जुड़े सही रीति-रिवाज़ और अभिषेक का पालन करना भी महत्वपूर्ण है। यदि आप इसे करने का निर्णय लेते हैं, तो उप
