Puri is known as Nrisimha Kshetra


Nrsimha Kshetra: According to Skandha Parana jagannathPuri is known as Nrisimha Kshetra. 

King Indradyumna, after finishing Sri Mandir's construc¬tion, went to Brahma-loka to invite Lord Brahma to the temples inauguration. Lord Brahma performed the yajna. From that yajna kund a fearsome form of Lord Nrisimhadeva appeared. The Lord wore a seven-hooded Ananta naga on top of His head and held Laxmi Devi in His lap. King Indradyumna was frightened of this form of the Lord. Being merciful upon the king, the Lord immedi¬ately accepted a peaceful form of Lord Narayana.
