Gajapati Maharaja Dibyasingha Deb has written a letter to ISKCON authorities urging them to conduct Snana Yatra and Rath Yatra only on the dates prescribed by scriptures. Despite a previous agreement in October 2024, ISKCON temples abroad and in places like Ujjain have been planning these rituals on non-traditional dates. The Maharaja highlighted that such actions violate the instructions in the Skanda Purana and hurt the sentiments of Jagannath devotees worldwide, requesting a reconsideration of their decisions.
