Legend of Varahajew

[edit ]

The king of Aul was a devotee of Lakshmi-Varaha. The deity was in the Biraja Temple in the Jajpur District, along with Yajna Baraha Temple and the king often went there to offer Puja , which is a Hindu act of worship. One day during the month of Shraavana , the Baitarani River flooded, so the darśana was cancelled. Believing that the deity couldn't tolerate that, the king dreamed that the deity came with him to his place to Aul (locally called Alli). One day the deity came, following the king's path of return, after puja. As the king was returning by horseback, he listened to the sound of the deity following him. At Aul the sound of the deity's walking stopped. In this place, the devoted king built the deity's holy temple. The Yajna Baraha Temple remains there in Jajpur. The present temple was renovated by the late king of Aul, Sri Brajasundar Dev during the 20th century, after the temple had been in a ruined state for the previous 500 years.^[1]
