The doubt is, how can a body emit radiations of different wavelength, for a given temperature ?

The thermal motions and other degrees of freedom occur at a wide variety of frequencies, and so energy is emitted at a variety of frequencies.

Temperature is a sort of macroscopic average across a very large number of microscopic particles doing very different things. Think of the steady buzz of conversation you hear in a crowded room when many different people are having many different conversations in many different tones of voices.
