Jagannath (, , ; formerly ) is a Hindu deity worshipped as part of a triad along with his brother, Balabhadra, and his sister, Subhadra.
Jagannath, within Odia Hinduism, is the supreme god, Purushottama, and the Para Brahman. To most Vaishnava Hindus, Jagannath is a form of Mahavishnu, sometimes as an avatar of Vishnu. To some Shaiva and Shakta Hindus, he is a symmetry-filled tantric form of Bhairava, a fierce manifestation of Shiva associated with annihilation.
