In the Brahmanda Purana, it is said, “A person who sees the Lord’s Rath Yatra (chariot festival) and then stands up to receive the Lord can purge all kinds of sinful results from his body.” In the Bhavishya Purana, it is said, “Even if born of a lowly family, a person who follows the Rath Yatra car when the Deities pass in front or from behind will surely be elevated to the position of achieving equal opulence with Vishnu.”

Snana Yatra, is a bathing festival of deities celebrated – month of Jyeshtha.
Elephant attire is put on the bodies of deities on the occasion of Jagannath Snana Yatra. This is the first occasion in the year as per the Hindu calendar, when the deities Jagannath, Baladev, Subhadra are brought out from the Jagannath Temple (Puri) and taken in a procession to the Snana Bedi. There they are ceremonially bathed and decorated for devotees. It is a belief among devotees of Lord Jagannath that if they make a pilgrimage to see the deity on this day, they would be cleansed of all of their sins.
Come join us and you can bathe Lord Jagannath before we celebrate Rath Yatra
