DIFFERENT BESHA SHREE JAGANNATH MAHAPRABHU

MAHAPRABHU SHREE JAGANNATH (BAPA) IS ABSOLUTE TRUE,
OTHER THAN HIM ARE RELATIVELY TRUE….

Chandana Besha :

The word ‘Chandana’ means sandal wood, the sweet-scented paste of which is

smeared on the divine body of the deities in the month of Baishakha and Jyeshtha, spreading over 42 days during Chandana Yatra beginning from Akshaya Trutiya Tithi (third day of bright fortnight of Baishakha).

Kaliyadalana Besha :

As per the Puranic lores, Kaliya, the venomous serpent (Vipor) living on the banks of Yamuna was a source of great danger to the populace and Pravu Krushna had killed it. To remind this incident this Besha takes place on Bhadraba Krushna Ekadasi Tithi (the 11th day of the dark fortnight in Bhadraba). Mahapravu Shree Jagannath is dressed like Pravu Krushna killing the Kaliya serpent. The actual scene of killing the demon-like snake is also dramatised in the sacred tank of Markanda along with characters enacting the scene.
