Lord Jagannath didn't want to leave!Some brahmanas from a local village, felt that they could offer LordJagannath a better standard of worship and they wanted to worship Himin their village. Therefore one day they came and stole Lord Jagannath.While carrying the Lord accorss the fields they all suddenly felt the need toanswer natures call, so they put Lord Jagannath down and went to passwater. But upon returning they found that they could not lift Lord Jagannathanymore, so they went and brought some more men to help them but try asthey may, they just could not budge the Lord. Then they realized that Hedidn't want to leave Rajapur, so they came back and sorryfully told thepriests, "your Deity is out in the field and wants to come back". So two pujariscame and picked Him up and carried Him back home.
