Why the name is “Sveta” Ganga?Sveta was a king, his story is so beautiful. He used to serve Jagannath so much and so well. Once, he offered many food items to Lord Jagannath, but he saw that, at the same time, the demigods had also offered so many nice and delicious foodstuffs to Lord Jagannath. The king was upset because he thought that the Lord would accept the nice food of the demigods and that He would not accept his average food from the material world.But, when the king opened the door, for his surprise, Jagannath was directly taking the food that he had offered. So this Sveta king, he did this pond here.
