Answers
Answer:
1-The temple was built by the Ganga dynasty king Anantavarman Chodaganga in the 12th century CE,
2-The three deities came to be claimed as the symbols of Samyak Darshan, Samyak Jnana and Samyak Charita usually regarded as Triratha (of the Jain culture), an assimilation of which leads to Moksha (salvation) or the ultimate bliss... Jagannath is worshipped as Vishnu or Narayana or Krishna and Lord Balabhadra as Shesha.
3-The temple of Jagannatha at Puri gained importance as a centre of pilgrimage. Its authority in social and political matters also increased. Hence, conquerors tried to establish control over the temple. They felt that this would make their rule acceptable to the local people.
