The large eyes of Lord Jagannath

The biggest mystery behind the huge eyes of Lord Jagannath is that they do not have eyelids, and only the eyes are the reflection of divine vision. One reason for this is that Lord Jagannath looks at his devotees with wide open eyes without blinking, protecting them from all evils.

And so His gracious look is all over the universe. Moreover, Lord Jagannath is called "Lord of the World" and his large, round eyes show that he is present all the time, everywhere and he sees everything in creation. The Lord never deserts his devotees and is always prepared to protect them.

Why is Lord Jagannath called as 'Chakka Nain?

There is one reason behind calling Lord Jagannath as Chakka Nain. Chakka literally means like a round wheel and Nain means eyes. In this situation Lord Jagannath is called Chakka Nain, because the eyes of Lord Jagannath are round like a wheel. This unique form of Jagannath has also been mentioned in Skanda Purana and as per mythological story, once in the city of Dwarka, queens such as Rukmini prayed to Mother Rohini that they wanted to hear the childhood love stories of Shri Krishna and the Gopis.
