MAHAPRABHU SHREE JAGANNATH (BAPA) IS ABSOLUTE TRUE,
OTHER THAN HIM ARE RELATIVELY TRUE….
Banabhoji Besha :
Since Mahapravu Shree Jagannath has been identified with Pravu Krushna, incidents connected with the life of the latter have been inseparably associated with Mahapravu Shree Jagannath. The birthday of Pravu Krushna is celebrated on the 8th day of the dark fortnight of Bhadraba. Nandotsav is observed from the day following onwards and certain rituals relating to Pravu Krushna Lila, like Banabhoji, Kolibika, Bakasura and Aghasura Badha, Kaliyadalan, Dhenuka and Pralambasura Badha are also celebrated for some days. Banabhoji Besha is done on the 10th day of the dark fortnight of Bhadrab. The deities are dressed like cowherd boys, as if they are going to attend a picnic.
Baman Besha :
On Bhadraba Sukla Dwadasi Tithi (the 12th day of the bright fortnight in Bhadraba), Mahapravu Shree Jagannath is dressed as like Bamana the incarnation of Bhagaban Bishnu. Notably, Pravu Baman is the fifth incarnation of Bhagaban Bishnu. According to the Puranic story, Bhagaban Bishnu had appeared in the from of a Bamana (dwarf) and through his ingenuity, outwitted the famous demon king Bali and pushed him down to the subterranean with his foot.
