Description
The painting of Lord Jagannath is typically rich in symbolism, color, and cultural depth, rooted in Odisha’s devotional and artistic traditions.
Jagannath is rarely depicted alone. Usually the trio includes:
*Jagannath (center) – A form of Lord Krishna or Vishnu
*Balabhadra (left) – His elder brother
*Subhadra (right) -His sister
Each has a distinctive face with large round eyes and stump like arms, based on the sacred wooden idols of Puri.
The dark background helps enhance the look of the idols .
