After completion of the Sahastra Dhara bath, Lord Jagannath is given Sada Besh. Sahastra Dhara bath is one of the most popular rituals of Lord Jagannath. After the holy bath, Lord Jagannath withdraws and does not appear before his devotees for the next 14 days. It is believed that due to excessive bath, Lord Jagannath falls ill and for these 14 days, he undergoes treatment. He is then offered special care until he comes out for Rath Yatra.
Snana Yatra is a deeply revered and significant festival in the Hindu calendar. Celebrated with great devotion and elaborate rituals, the festivity not only precedes the renowned Rath Yatra but also symbolises the spiritual connection devotees share with the deities. Let us embrace the traditions and rituals that enhance the spiritual atmosphere of the sacred day.
