Nagarjuna
There is no unanimity among researchers and authors with regard to the origin of the Nagarjuna Besha. The rare ritual does not find mention in the Srimandir Record of Rights.
Some researchers including Odia author Mahimohan Tripathy are of the opinion that Lord Jagannath is adorned with the Nagarjuna Besha in the sanctum sanctorum of Srimandir to mark the victory of Lord Parashuram, the sixth incarnation (avatara) of Lord Bishnu over a powerful king named Sahashrajuna.

Some other scholars including Professor Umesh Chandra Chinara claim that the Narajuna Besha is organised to remember a battle between Pandav warrior Arjuna and his son Nagarjuna in the Mahabharat war.

A few scholars also claim that the Nagarjuna Besha of Lord Jagannath combines the traditions of Vaishnavism and Shaivism. 'The very idol of Lord Jagannath has some similarities with a serpent and a Shiva linga. The Lord is offered with a serpent hood like Tahia, headgear, during Rath Yatra. Thus, we can say that Nagarjuna Besha is the combination of Vaishnavism and Shaivism culture,' writes author Harihar Kanungo in his book Srijagannath 'O' Rath Yatra.

As per tradition, Lord Jagannath and Lord Balabhadra are adorned with several weapons including Chakra (wheel), Hala (plough), Musala (mace), dagger and knife during Nagarjuna Besha.

Bindusagar
According to the local tradition, Shiva and Parvati after their marriage came to Varanasi. But with the passage of time, Varanasi became a populated area. Lord Siva chose Ekamrakshetra for meditation in disguise. This place was having a single huge mango tree surrounded by jungle. Even it was unknown to Parvati. This place is also known as gupta kashi hidden Varanasi. With the reference from lord Bramha, Devi Parvati came to know about this place and came to Ekamra-Kshetra to search her Lord Shiva. Also she noticed that thousands of cows are going under the huge mango tree and automatically milking a place. She understood that her Lord Shiva is there. So she took care of the cows as a milkmaid. (Gopaluni Temple is There inside Lingaraj Temple Complex and this is one out of the Astmurti) The place from which the cows were coming is known as Gosahasreswara or Gosagaresvar. Devi Parvati in the milkmaid get-up was looking too attractive. It was also noticed by the two demons of this locality, known as Kirti and Vasa. They proposed Parvati to marry. But Parvati killed the two demons by pressing them into the ground with her feet. That particular place became famous as Devi Padahara. After killing the demons Parvati became tired and took rest at a place called Bhabani Shankar Temple. Parvati felt very thirsty and to quench her thirst lord Siva struck his trident at this place, out of which a spring came out. The water was then sanctified by the waters of all rivers, streams and ultimately took the shape of a large water body. Which is today known as Bindusagar.

Gates
Sree Mandira has four gates. And in each Gate there stays Hanuman in a different image performing a different service for his Master. Hanuman protects the temple staying at the four gates.
Tapasvi Hanuman/Chari Chakra Hanuman/Asta-bhuja Hanuman
This Hanuman deity is Located at the north gate of Sri Jagannatha temple for the protection of the mandira. He is also known as Chari cakra Hanuman and Asta bhuja Hanuman. ”Chari cakra” means he is holding four cakras in his hands
Once the Sudarsana cakra of the Lord became proud thinking ” I am so close to the Lord and most dear to Him”.
Lord Jagannath is famous for destroying the pride of his devotees. Jagannath did not like the pride of sudarsana cakra thinking He was most powerful. Sudarshan started thing that the Lord was protected by Him & dependent upon Him. Lord Jagannath takes the help of Sudarsan cakra to accomplish any difficult job. Thus the Lord decided to correct sudarsan’s pride only to protect His dear devotee.
The Lord sent sudarsana chakra to call Hanuman. At that time Hanuman was engaged in tapasya at abhayaranya. Immediately the sudarsan chakra went to inform Hanuman that Lord Jagannath wanted to see Him and Hanuman started His journey to meet the his Lord. After informing Hanuman the sudarsna chakra immediately returned to the temple, reaching there before Hanuman. As Hanuman neared the temple gates, the sudarshan chakra started to move swiftly around the mandir paramiters blocking the path of Hanuman and preventing Him from reach the Ratna Simhasana.
Hanuman asked himself how can i meet my lord? He took shelter of Lord Jagannath simply by remembering Him. Immediately by the mercy of the Lord, Hanuman was empowered and developed six extra arms from His shoulders Thus He became asta bhuja Hanuman.
Thus the Lord cursed the sudarshana chakra that in the age of kali he will not have his disc form rather he would take the form of a pillar/stambha which will always be at the left side of Lord Jagannath.
Note; In Vishnu Murthy form Sudarshan chakra is on the right hand of the Lord and The sudarshan gota cuse to be in the left hand side that too as a stamba/pillar.
Kanpata Hanuman
There is a beautiful story behind this western gate deity. This gate is near the temple of Maa Mahalaxmi.
It is said that Lord Jagannath remaining busy in HIS royal activities and listening to the lakhs of devotees come to him daily, does not find a moment to spend with HIS beloved wife Maa MAHALAXMI.
Apart from that maintaining the customs MAHALAXMI never comes to her husband’s place as because HIS elder brother is always present there.
When everything calms down following the traditions, during middle of the night, Lord Jagannath gets out to meet HIS wife.
Mahalaxmi is the daughter of the Ocean GOD. Shree Mandira is situated at the sea shore. The sound of the sea always creates a deep vibration. And again during night when everything is calm the sound of the sea is most vibrant and disturbing. That disturbed Lords romantic mood.But since Ocean God is HIS father in law HE never complained about it.
But toleration too, has a limit. One night Lord was very much disturbed by the sound of the sea and sarcastically commented on the ocean God’s lack of commonsense. Mahalaxmi did not utter a word but was hurt deep inside.
All romance starts and ends with Lord. He realized immediately that his dear wife was hurt by his words. He cajoled Mahalaxmi and next day ordered his dear one Hanuman, near the western gate to ensure that the sound of the sea never enters the meghanada pachery- the boundary wall of Sree Mandira.
Being ordered by his Master, Hanuman made the entire boundary wall sound proof and being explicitly loyal always put his ears on the wall to ensure that the sound of the sea has been seized.
As he has put his ears all the time to ensure the temple soundless- he is known as KANPATA HANUMAN.
- In the east- where there is Lions Gate, Hanuman is worshipped there as ‘FATE HANUMAN’.
- In the north gate Hanuman sits in padmasana, holding chakra in four hands, and is worshipped as ‘ASTABHUJA HANUMAN’.
- In the south gate Hanuman is seven feet tall and worshipped as ‘BARA BHAI HANUMAN’.
- In the western gate Lord Hanuman is around Four feet height and known as ‘KAN PATA HANUMAN’

- Four hands had four sudarsana chakras
- Two hands were offering pranams
- Two hands were chanting the holy name of the Lord.
