Alarnatha Mandir of Orissa

Sri Alarnatha mandir of Orissa at Brahmagiri (Puri) is known as second Srikshetra. After Mahasnana, Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra are taking gupta seva at Anasara Ghara in Jagannath temple. Thus, noone can see the deities in these days upto Ratha Yatra.

That’s why if you can worship Sri Alarnatha at Brahmagiri, you will get the same punya as from Jagannath darshan. So, thousands of pilgrims are visiting Alarnath Pitha to take a glance of Chaturdha Narayana Murti of Sri Alarnatha.
