Legend:

It is doubtful whether such a temple exists anywhere else in the world. The secret of this Jagannath Temple, Kanpur is that some accurate information about nature is known from here. For example, this temple can accurately predict the occurrence of rain. He can tell you not to stay one day or two days in advance, but seven days in advance. Is this also science, or divine fun?

Not just the rain forecast, but how it will rain, able to give glimpses of rain or drizzle. This is what the people of Jagannath temple area of Behta village in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh claim.

On the same altar with them are the black stone idols of Surya and Padmanabham. It is known from this temple that the arrival of the monsoon is reported fifteen days in advance. Besides, it can also give information about premature rain seven days in advance. Delhi’s Moushum Bhavan can provide that via satellite.

Local residents and devotees say that whenever the monsoon comes, water starts falling from the roof of this temple almost two weeks before. From this, they can understand the upcoming monsoon. It is said to the farmers that there is not much time left for the monsoon to come. Even, this water stream different. In the year when there is a heavy monsoon, water starts falling from the roof of the temple in torrents. And in the year when the rain is light, in that year the stream of water falling from the roof is also weak. No year has been an exception to this rule. The most important thing is how the water falls from the roof. There is no water pipe from which the water comes out.

According to archaeologists, the temple reconstructed around the end of the 11th century. Historians believe that the temple built during the era of Emperor Harshavardhana because of the peacock symbol and chakras outside the temple. The size of the temple is similar to that of a Buddhist monastery and the walls of the temple are about 14 feet thick. Which is unimaginable today. It is not known why the wall of the temple is so thick. That is not less mysterious?
