This temple of Hanuman ji is also quite famous. The story of this Bedi Hanuman temple is related to Shri Jagannath temple. Let us know about this. According to a legend, once the gods and goddesses reached Puri Dham for the darshan of Lord Jagannath. Along with them humans and Gandharvas also came to see Lord Jagannath. Samudra Dev also had a desire to see God. After this he also entered the temple.
Sea entered Shri Jagannath Temple
Due to this the temple and the devotees had to face a lot of problems. Then Lord Jagannath ordered Hanuman ji to protect Puri Dham. Lord Jagannath posted Hanuman ji on the sea shore. For some time, Hanuman ji fulfilled his responsibility well, but whenever Hanuman ji heard the hymns and kirtans of Lord Ram, he would immediately go to that place. In such a situation, as soon as the ocean got the opportunity, it entered the temple.
Lord Jagannath tied Hanumanji with chains
After this Lord Jagannath tied Hanuman ji with iron chains. He did this so that the sea could not enter the temple and Hanuman ji continued to protect Puri Dham. These chains should not be seen as punishment, rather they represent the bondage of duty and devotion. Today Bedi Hanuman temple is established at this place. The fame of this temple has also spread far and wide.
People also know this temple by the name of Dariya Mahavir Temple. Devotees who come to Shri Jagannath Temple for darshan of God also visit this temple.
