MAHAPRABHU BESHA

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

Harihara Besha :

During the time span of the Radha-Damodar Besha of Mahapravu Shree Jagannath on each Monday, Harihara Besha of Bada Thakura Shree Balabhadra is done for a fortnight, i.e. from the darkmoon day till the fullmoon day. In this Besha, half of the body of Bada Thakura Balabhadra looks blackish while the other half looks whitish, which connotes that one half of His body is Bishnu and the other half is Siba (Hara).

Lakshmi-Narayana Besha :

This besha is also known as ‘Thiakia Besha’. It is done on the 11th day of the bright fortnight of Karttika. It is stated that the worship of Maa Lakshmi and Narayana has gained popularity in Mahapravu Jagannath consciousness, since the visit of Ramanuja, the great religious preacher to this holy land of Shreekshetra Puri.

Bankachuda Besha :

It is done on Karttika Sukla Dwadasi Tithi (the 12th day of the bright fortnight in Karttika). This is similar to that of Lakshmi-Narayan Besha with addition of golden headgear.

Adakia Besha :

This Besha is also known as ‘Tribikram Besha’. It is done on Karttika Sukla Trayodasi (the 13th day of the bright fortnight in Karttika).
