Lord of the Universe, Jagannatha, is a revered deity worshipped in regional Hindu traditions across India. He forms a sacred triad alongside his brother, Balabhadra, and sister, Subhadra.

Within Odia Hinduism, Jagannatha holds the highest position, honored as the supreme god Purushottama and the ultimate reality, Para Brahman. For most Vaishnava Hindus, particularly Krishnaites, Jagannatha embodies an abstract representation of Krishna, sometimes seen as an avatar of Vishnu. However, for some Shaiva and Shakta followers, he takes on a distinct form – a tantric manifestation of Bhairava, the fierce aspect of Shiva associated with transformation.
