Srimandir's spiritual glory shines at Alarnath
Orissa POST
|June 27, 2025
Located about 25 km from the holy town of Puri, the ancient temple of Lord Alarnath in Brahmagiri is a spiritual gem revered by Vaishnavites and pilgrims, especially during the Anavasara (or Anasara) of Lord Jagannath and His siblings - Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra - when Srimandir closes its doors to devotees for about 15 days following the ritualistic bath (Snana Yatra) of the deities.

The legend & deity
According to legend, Lord Brahma came down to this place and worshipped Lord Vishnu. Pleased with his devotion, Lord Vishnu asked him to carve out a four-handed deity in black stone carrying a sank chakra, gada and pa each hand. The hill was named Brahmagiri since Lord Brahma had worshipped Lord Vishnu at that place.
The temple is believed to have been built by the rulers of Alwar, Rajasthan; hence the name Alwarnath or Alarnath.
