Apart from the three murtis – Jagannath, Balabhadra and
Shubhadra – Sri Sudarshan Chakra is also worshipped in the Puri Jagannath
Temple . The four murtis
together are known as Chaturdhha Murti. Chakraj Sudarshan worship is mentioned
in Brahma Purana and Skanda Purana.
In the main sanctum sanctorum of the Puri Jagannath
Temple , Sri Sudarshan is
seated on the left side of the Jagannath murti.
Sudarshan Chakra represents the supreme luminescence of the
Supreme Purusha.
It is the divine symbol of Bhagvan Vishnu – made popular on
earth by Sri Krishna.
Sri Sudarshan goes in the front of Lord Jagannath in all His
spiritual yatras.
In the Rath Yatra, the divine chakra is brought out first in
a Pahandi and is then seated in Debadalana Chariot of goddess Subhadra ahead of
all other murtis.
Apart from Rath Yatra, the Sudrashan chakra is brought out
on Shravan Purnima, Radha Ashtami and Kumar Purnima.
