The Puri Jagannath Temple is an important Hindu temple dedicated to Jagannath, a form of Vishnu.The Puri temple is famous for its annual Ratha Yatra, or chariot festival, in which the three principal deities are pulled on huge and elaborately decorated temple cars. No birds or planes fly above the temple. The site is a no-fly zone actually, which has not been declared by any state powers, but by some divine power.This phenomenon also apparently has no explanation. It still remains a mystery. The structure of the temple is such that it does not cast any shadow at any given time of the day. The height of Jagannath Temple is around 1000 feet. The flag atop the temple strangely always floats in the opposite direction of wind. The chakra is actually 20 ft high and weighs a ton. It is fitted on top of the temple. But what is interesting about this chakra is that, you can see this chakra from any corner of the Puri city. The engineering mystery behind the placing and positioning of chakra is still a mystery because irrespective of your position, you can always feel that the chakra is facing toward you.Konark Sun Temple is a 13th-century CE Sun temple at Konark about 35 kilometres northeast from Puricity on the coastline in Puri district, Odisha, India. Dedicated to the Hindu Sun God Surya, what remains of the temple complex has the appearance of a 100-foot (30 m) high chariot with immense wheels and horses,all carved from stone.
