Puri (Odisha) June 22 (ANI): Thousands of devotees on June 22 thronged Jagannath Temple in Odisha’s Puri on the occasion of Snana Purnima. Snana Purnima is a significant festival in Odisha in which Lord Jagannath, along with his siblings is brought out of sanctum sanctorum to Snana Mandap. The deities undergo ceremonial baths on the special bathing platform with 108 pitchers of sacred water. The deities are then adorned in Gajanana Besha, which means they are dressed to resemble Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity. This is one of rare occasions when deities are publicly visible, allowing devotees a close view ahead of the famous Rath Yatra.
