Brahmagiri, Puri district, Odisha · 19.7949°, 85.6502°
A Vaishnava temple at Brahmagiri, some 23 km from Puri, counted among the 108 Abhimana Kshetras. It is associated with Ramanujacharya's journey through Odisha and preserves a stone slab linked to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's sankirtana.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
Devotees say Jagannath directed Chaitanya Mahaprabhu here during Anavasara, the fortnight when the Puri image is withdrawn from view and the lord is believed to appear instead as Alarnath.
