The Muktimandap Pandits of Puri have written a letter to Gajapati Maharaja requesting that the Snana Yatra and Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath be conducted according to classical scriptures and sunrise timings. Based on scriptures like Skanda Purana and Brahma Purana, they emphasized that rituals should align with the 'Tithi' prevailing at sunrise. The letter states that the Lord's birthday (Snana Purnima) and the nine-day Rath Yatra must follow these traditional rules, and these guidelines should be mandatory for all Jagannath temples worldwide, regardless of public convenience.
