Lord Jagannath didn't want to leave!
Some brahmanas from a local village, felt that they could offer Lord Jagannath a better standard of worship and they wanted to worship Him in their village. Therefore one day they came and stole Lord Jagannath.
While carrying the Lord across the fields they all suddenly felt the need to answer natures call, so they put Lord Jagannath down and went to pass water. But upon returning they found that they could not lift Lord Jagannath anymore, so they went and brought some more men to help them but try as they may, they just could not budge the Lord.
Then they realized that He didn't want to leave Rajapur, so they came back and sorryfully told the priests, "your Deity is out in the field and wants to come back". So two pujaris came and picked Him up and carried Him back home.
Jagannath Swami Ki Jai...
