Karkkata or Dhakshinayana Sankranti

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

Karkkata or Dhakshinayana Sankranti: This festival takes place on the day of Karkata Sankranti. Special nitis are performed on this day, as the Sun begins to move to the autumnal equinox. Since, Surya (Sun) commences his journey to the southern hemisphere, a special Bandapana of the deities is held to mark the occasion.

Chhitalagi Amabashya: On the Srabana Amabasya Tithi (July-August), the gold and precious stone set Chitas removed from the deities on the Snana Purnima night are again adorned on them. Chita is an ornament for the forehead.

Sithala Shashthi: Marriage of Dev Dev Mahadev and Maa Parbati is observed on Jyestha Sukla Sasthi i.e. the sixth day of bright fortnight of Jyeshtha (May-June). On this occasion, Maa Lakshmi welcomes the newly married couple in her temple.

Rajeendrabhiseka: It is celebrated on Jyeshtha Sukla Dasami i.e. the 10th day of the bright fortnight of Jyeshtha (May-June).
