Nilachala Circuit Summary
Nilachala Circuit
The Nilachala Circuit carries the devotee through the three sacred kshetras of Kalinga and out upon the waters beside them. Shree Lingaraj at Ekamra, worshipped as Harihara in one swayambhu linga. Shree Jagannath upon the Ratna Singhasana at Nilachala. And Aditya at Konark, in His chariot of stone - the one form of the Lord the eye may bear. Not three gods, but three faces of the one Divine. Between them falls a day upon Chilika, reached by way of Shree Alarnath, where the Lord dwells when His temple at Puri stands closed. NilaPallav arranges every darshan, transfer and Mahaprasad, so the devotee carries nothing but faith.
