Indradyumna (7)

A king who lived in Kritayuga and was a devotee of Vishnu. Once, the king visited the Purushottama temple in Odra, but couldn’t see the lord Jagannatha. The disappointed king decided to go to the Nila mountain and fast until death. But then a divine voice said that the lord would soon be visible to him. Indradyumna then conducted an ashwamedha and built a magnificent Vishnu temple with a Narasimha idol given by Narada. The king was not only visited by Jagannatha in his dreams, but was also told to make idols from the sugandhi tree that grew on the seashore. As per Skandapurana, the king made idols of Vishnu, Balarama, Sudarshana, Subhadra and installed them in the temple too.
