Alarnath Temple: On the eastern coast of India, approximately 25 kms from the temple of Lord Jagannath in Puri, is the temple of Alarnath situated on Brahmagiri - the hill of Brahma. Long long ago, in Satya Yuga, Brahma worshiped the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vishnu and established the four-handed Deity form of Vishnu on this hill and the worship continued.

Sri Alarnath Temple

Sri Alarnath Temple is a very important temple of Visnu near Jagannatha Puri (23 km) at Brahmagiri, Orissa. Lord Alarnath is the representative of Lord Jagannatha at Puri. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu stayed at this temple during anavasara, the two-week period afterSnana-yatra when Lord Jagannatha rests in seclusion before the annual Rathayatra (chariot festival) in Jagannatha Puri. Lord Caitanya couldn't bear staying in Puri without seeing His beloved Lord, and at Alarnath He would reveal the highest spiritual emotions, pining in ecstatic separation. While doing the Temple’s Parikrama, one can take darshanof the incredible prema-sila (stone slab) of Lord Caitanya, on the right side of the temple when entering the main gate from the road. This stone slab bears impressions from Lord Caitanya's body. When Lord Caitanya first lay in full obeisance before Lord Alarnath, the stone beneath Lord Caitanya melted from His ecstatic touch.
