Debasnana Purnima was celebrated at the Sri Baladevjew Temple in Keonjhar following tribal cultures and traditions. The deities were brought to the Snana Bedi through Sunya Pahandi and bathed with scented water from golden vessels. Lord Balabhadra was bathed with 35 pots of water, Subhadra with 22, Jagannath with 33, and Sudarshan with 18. Following the ritual bath, the deities were adorned in the rare Gananana Besha (Elephant attire), where Baladevjew was decorated with Amla leaves and Lord Jagannath with Tulsi leaves, while Goddess Subhadra appeared in Kumari Besha. Large crowds of devotees gathered to witness these divine rituals.
