Preparations for the world-famous Snana Yatra and Rath Yatra have commenced in Puri. Daitapati servitors entered the Jagannath Temple on Jyestha Shukla Trayodashi to take charge of the deities' secret rituals and body protection for the next month. Key rituals like Bahutakanta and Charamala binding are being performed. The Daitapatis, considered the family of Lord Jagannath, play a crucial role during the Anasara period and Nabakalebara. There is immense excitement among devotees in Puri as the festive season begins with these traditional services. https://argusnews.in/odisha/puri-snana-yatra-rath-yatra-preparations-daitapati-enter-srimandir #creator program
