Puri. Do you know? Whenever there is talk of Jagannath Puri Temple, the first attention goes to its flag. It is not just a flag, it is a living tradition that has been going on for centuries. The most mysterious thing related to this flag is that it always waves against the direction of the wind. On the sea shore, amidst strong winds – yet the behavior of the flag challenges science.

The temple of Puri is about 45 floors high. Every day a person, called Chunara Sevak, climbs to the top of the temple barefoot, without any modern safety equipment, using only ropes and his own strength, and changes the flag. No helmet, no harness, no safety net. Hundreds of feet below and only faith above. This work happens every day, whether it is scorching heat, torrential rains, epidemics or hurricanes.

It is believed that if someday this tradition is broken and the flag is not changed, then the temple will be closed for 18 years. Therefore, whatever the circumstances, this ritual does not stop. History is witness to the fact that wars, famines, diseases came and went, but the flag was changed every day. This is not just a rule, it is a fast.

No single person has the right to change this flag. For this, special families have been shouldering the responsibility for generations. Dhwaja’s booking is done years in advance. People bring flags along with their entire family and friends like a procession. Flag hoisting amidst drums, dance, bhajans and then Veda mantras. Many people consider this one occasion as the biggest achievement of their life.

The flag of Puri reminds us that some traditions are not just something to be seen, they are to be lived. While the modern world searches for convenience and security, the flag of Puri still says that faith is not about convenience but about dedication. Perhaps this is why Puri is not just a temple. He is a reminder that as long as tradition survives, culture survives.
