The Temple of ancient Lord Jagannath (Shri Krishna) which is the center of faith[1] in this region of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. This temple is located on the right bank of the canal Narayani at 12 km from the Shikarpur situated on the Gorakhpur-Maharajganj Road, in the village of Badahra Mahant.[2][3]
The Temple of ancient Lord Jagannath (Shri Krishna) in Badahra Mahant of Maharajganj District holds significance as Vaishnava Ramanujdas, guided by a dream, established the deity's vigilance there in 1786. The temple, initially in a forested area under Nepalese governance, gained prominence after Ramanujdas' penance. Following the king's request to restore Jagannath's vigilance, a grand temple was built, and regular worship ceremonies are conducted, including festivals.[7]
