History

There is a reason that explains the name of the Bedi Hanuman temple. In the course of building the Jagannath temple in the year of the God of the sea, Varuna visits the Jagannath temple, to express reverence. The water from the sea flooded into the town and did damage to the structure.

 

Then, he contacted Hanuman to clarify why the incident occurred. Unfortunately, Hanuman was not there and went to Ayodhya without informing him.

Then Jagannath tied his hands using rope and a wall and told him to observe all night and day. Hands tied together means bedi and we call Hanuman the bedi as well as chained Hanuman. He guards the city against harm.
