Jahnava Nitai Das 2 Report post Posted May 12, 2001 I saw this picture on our drive today, so I thought I would post it as it is quite unique and very interesting. This is a picture of Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra from Sri Rangam. These particular deities are unique in that they have arms, legs and faces like regular deities (not like the Jagannatha found in Puri). Also this form of the Lord is practically unknown in South India. These particular deities were found in a corner of the Sri Rangam some time ago. The Sri Rangam temple is quite huge, and there are many, many storage rooms, making it easy for something to be unseen for hundreds of years. It is believed that these particualr deities were introduced when Sri Chaitanya visited Sri Rangam for four months of the rainy season. After being rediscovered, their worship has been properly established within the greater Sri Rangam compound by a donor, I believe the Birlas. A small statue of Sri Chaitanya has also been installed in this temple. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
