Chhatia Bata

Chhatia Bata or Chhatia Jagannath Temple is a Hindu temple in the  village of Chhatia, Odisha, between the towns of Cuttack and Chandikhol. 

“

It is dedicated to Jagannath and associated with Kalki, Vishnu’s avatar.  

In the saga Maalika, Hadidas mentions this temple, predicting that “on a  day when all living animals and humans will die and fish will play at  the steps of Puri temple.” 

As a result, the temple now houses lords’ idols in a unique way. 

There is a temple in which all three Lords are present, but in a different order than in Puri.

From left to right, Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra appear to represent a new world order.  

There are also separate temples for each of them. Each of these is  small, dark chambers that house a large idol within a grill, creating a  constant sense of claustrophobia.
