The idols of which three Gods are installed in Jagannath Temple, Puri?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. The Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, is famous for housing three wooden idols: Jagannath, Balabhadra (Balarama) and Subhadra.

2. These three deities are worshipped together and are the central figures of the annual Rath Yatra (chariot festival), confirming the temple's dedication to $3$ idols.

3. Elimination of other choices:
   - (1) Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh: these are different major deities in Hinduism, not the specific trio in Puri.
   - (2) Radha, Krishna and Balram: Radha is not an idol in the Jagannath Temple (though Krishna-related), so this is incorrect.
   - (4) Ram, Lakshman and Janaki: these are Ramayana figures and not the primary idols at Jagannath Temple.

Therefore the correct option is (3): Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra, corresponding to choice c.
