There’s a story that explains it. One day, Rohini, mother of Lord Balarama, was sharing Lord Krishna’s life stories from Vrindavana with the queens of Dwaraka. This story was extremely confidential, so Subhadra, Lord Krishna’s sister, was asked to guard the door to keep anyone from coming in.
As the story unfolded, Lord Krishna and Balarama stood on either side of Subhadra at the door and listened. The story moved them deeply, and this emotional feeling started showing on their bodies. Their eyes grew wide, their heads shrank into their bodies, and their limbs pulled inward. Seeing these changes in Krishna and Balarama, Subhadra also started feeling the same emotions, and her body mirrored theirs. So, this is how Lord Jagannath, Balarama, and Subhadra in Puri’s Jagannath Temple came to have their unique forms. #odisha
