The Hindu Mandirs are not simply religious places or worshipping structures or picnic spots. The mandirs were economic, social, welfare, educational, spiritual, scientific and the backbone of the society.
This Jagannath Temple from Kanpur, is also known as Rain Temple' or 'Monsoon Temple and is more than hundreds of years old, it is said to have been renovated in 11th century..
Here, it is believed that the water droplets accumulated on the ceiling of Lord Jagannath temple predict, whether upcoming monsoon season would be good or bad. If the size of water droplets is big, it is believed that there will be good rainfall and if it is small, then drought may occur. It is believed that the prediction is not just a day or two in advance, in fact, it predicts the onset of monsoon a good fortnight in advance. The roof of the temple starts dripping 15 days before the start of the rainy season and it is the trickle that reveals the type of showers that should be expected..
A thin volume of the trickle indicates scanty rainfall, while a good volume indicates heavy showers.
Thus, on the basis of the predictions, the farmers nearby put an estimate to their harvest accordingly.
