From Kamakhya to Jagannath Puri: 6 most famous temples in India and what makes them unique


In the temple of Lord Jagannath, in Puri, a unique feature is a flag that defies the laws of nature. The flag atop the Jagannath Puri temple always flutters in the opposite direction of the wind. Even though there are more flags in the vicinity, the one on top of the main shrine is always in the opposite direction to others.

Along with the nature’s law-defying flag, another unique feature of the temple is the fact that every single day a priest climbs atop the temple, without any support and with his bare hands, and replaces the flag every day without fail.
