Lord of the Universe, Kalia, Mahaprabhu and the great Lord Jagannath - whatever you call him, he is one deity in India who is known to be one among the masses. He is cared for, he bathes, he drinks, and occasionally also goes on holidays! Lord Jagannath’s presence in India and especially in Odisha is so magnetic that people from the world are left in awe of him. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that you will find at least one idol of Jagannath Mahaprabhu in every Odia household!
While the Jagannath idol, even in Puri, happens to be incomplete with intriguing folklore attached to it, the divine figure still exudes an unmatched positive aura. With that being reason enough, we have five more reasons why you should bring a Dhokra Jagannath idol home:
A Spiritual Presence
There are not enough words that can put together the grandeur of Lord Jagannath. If you have never had his idol in your home, you will automatically notice a change once you do. The calming presence of a deity like that can elevate your inner spirituality and help you be one with the positivity of the universe.
Worship at your Own Home
Going to Puri regularly is possible but if you truly want to worship Jagannath Mahaprabhu every day, having his idol in your home is an ideal choice. You can keep it in your puja room and follow the step-wise ways of worshipping the lord or you can place it in some other place and worship it as and when you go. It is always best to keep the idol in a centralised place rather than in some corners. The antique gold finish of the Dhokra statue gives a rich look to your area of worship.
Alluring Home Decor
Dhokra Jagannath statues are unique pieces of art in themselves. Available both with and without a pedestal, the intricacy of craft executed in each product is fascinating. The Dhokra idols depict the ‘suna besha’ of the Lord and make for a shining home decor product. Visitors to your house will not only be attracted to the glorious idol but also to the exclusive design of the statue which is extremely rare.
One-Time Purchase
The chances of a wooden idol decaying are higher than an idol made of metal. It is most likely the colour and makes of your wooden Jagannath idol will deteriorate by the end of the year and you will have to purchase a new one. However, when you buy a Dhokra statue online, they stay intact for a much longer time and are very easy in terms of maintenance. Click here, to find out how to maintain your Dhokra Jagannath idol.
The Most Unique Idol
Even two Dhokra idols are not the same, let alone your Dhokra Jagannath statue having any similarity with the other common ones in the market. Made with thread-like designs engorging intricacies right from the Lord’s jewellery to him holding the Shankha, the Dhokra idol will not escape the eyes of the onlookers.
With Lord’s Jagannath’s Chandan Yatra and Rath Yatra coming up soon, it is the best time to get home to the Dhokra Jagannath idol. You can set up a special area for his worship during this sacred time and use the idol for home decor later. Don’t forget to look out for some amazing discounts on our website!
