One time a great devotee of Ganesh was visiting the king of Puri, but was reluctant to visit Lord Jagannatha's Temple as his principle was to only worship Sri Ganesh. Lord Jagannath is non-different than Lord Visnu, Who is the origin of all devatas. This pilgrim was coaxed by the king, who finally persuaded him to visit the temple. It was snan-yatra day, and as he stood before the Deities he asked Lord Jagannath, "If You are what they say You are, Daru Brahman (wooden Brahman), then kindly show to me that form of Ganesh, whom I worship." Deciding to bestow His causeless mercy, Lord Jagannath with Balaram transformed Himself into the form of Ganesh, to the great astonishment and delight of His most fortunate devotee.

24 Forms

The most remarkable features of Jagannath Temple is that on the both sides of each parsvadevata shrines, in the outer wall, twenty four forms of bishnu is represented They are, such as

1. Keshab, 
2. Madhava, 
3. Damodara, 
4. Narayan, 
5. Bishnu, 
6. Gobinda, 
7. Madhusudan, 
8. Trivikram, 
9. Vamana, 
10. Sridhra, 
11. Hrusikesha, 
12. Padmnava, 
13. Sankarasana, 
14. Basudeba, 
15. Pradyumna, 
16. Anirudha, 
17. Purusottam, 
18. Adhoksaja, 
19. Narasimha, 
20. Achyuta, 
21. Janardana, 
22. Upendra, 
23. Hari, 
24. Srikrisna. 

These twenty-four manifestations are alike in their iconographic features. They are all standing figures with no band in the body possessing four arms and adorned with kirita crown and other usual ornaments, each one of them stands upon a Padmasana. The difference between any two of these images has to be made out by the way in which

1. the Sankha ( Conch), 
2. the chakra ( Wheel ), 
3. the gada ( Club ) and 
4. the Padma ( Lotus ) are found distributed among their four hands. 

The ‘ Rupamnadan’ furnishes the twenty-four names of Bishnu and the corresponding arrangements of the four ayudhas in the four hands in each case. These twenty-four forms of Bishnu that have been listed in the Silpasastras are found nowhere in any temple sculpture except in the Jagannath Temple.
