King Indradyumna of Utkal had only one wish - to be able to build a temple that would be the most beautiful in the world. His quest was for the image of the blue-colored Krishna or Nilamadhav. The king came very close to achieving his goal but his pride and arrogance snatched it away from him leaving him groping once more in the dark. Contained in this Amar Chitra Katha is the legend behind the temple of Jagannathapuri in Orissa and the images enshrined in it.

BHEEMA AND HANUMAN TP THE SONS OF VAYU THE WIND GO

Bheema was the strongman of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata. So was Hanuman the ape in the Ramayana. For both, the poets held that their powers were the gift of the wind-god, their parent. The two face each other in this story from the Mahabharata. During the Pandavas' exile in the forest, their wife Draupadi expresses her wish to have a particular flower. Bheema sets out for the mountain on which the flower blossoms. On the way he demonstrates his strength against an elephant. He is however unable to lift the tail of Hanuman who is lying on the way. An interesting encounter follows and in the end Bheema achieves his purpose. Both are known for their extraordinary strength and valour. Both are the sons of Vayu, the wind God. Hanuman lived in the Tretayug serving Sri rama while Bheema, a contemporary of Krishna, lived in the Dwaparyug. The Mahabharata narrates the story of an encounter between the two mighty brothers.

GANESHA & THE MOON TP

Garuda, Eagle-Faced Son Of Sage Kashyapa And Vinata, Had Strength That Surpassed All The Devas In Indralok. So When He Was Required To Bring The Pot Of Amrit Or Nectar Of Immortality, To Save His Mother From Slavery, Indra'S Heaven Shuddered With Fear. This Story Is From The Adi Parva Of The Mahabharata. Garuda Is A Mythical Bird And Has Been Held In Great Veneration In India From Time Immemorial. Many Indologists Hold That This Deity Is Of Dravidian Origin. A Stone Flag-Post, Often Covered With A Metal Plate, With An Image Of Garuda On Top Is Invariably Erected In Front Of The Image Of The Deity In All Vaishnavaite Temples. Besides This, Another Huge Idol Of Garuda Is Often Installed In Most Vaishnavaite Temples, As He Is Considered To Be One Of The Greatest Devotees Of Lord Vishnu. During The Gupta Age, Which Is Referred To As The Golden Era Of Indian History, The Imperial Standard Had A Garuda Image On It. Garuda Is Represented As A Large White-Necked Eagle
