Indradyumna going to Brahma Loka

(Skanda Purana - Purushottama Kshetra Mahatmya - 22 to 23)

Jagannath temple, Puri, Puri district, Odisha

• Indradyumna going to Brahma Loka: Indradyumna requested sage Narada to take him to Brahma Loka. Both of them started for Brahma Loka in a divine chariot. When the king reached the presence of Lord Brahma, he requested the Lord to install the idol of Lord Jagannatha in the shrine. Lord Brahma told him that during his stay in Brahma Loka, a manvantara has passed in the earth and the first Yuga of second manvantara (Swarocisa) has arrived. Crores and crores of kings have departed from the earth but the Lord and His shrine still remained. Thereafter Lord Brahma told Indradyumna to first go to the earth and make preparations for the installation of the Lord. He himself would then come there to install the wooden idol of the Lord. Lord Brahma told the devas and Padmanidhi to assist Indradyumna.
