On the occasion of Jal Yatra, Lord Jagannath took bath from 108 pots yesterday to relieve his devotees from pain and agony. After that he also took bath from fruit juices, due to which he is now suffering from cold these days. This is a part of the tradition which takes place every year in Jagannath Puri and Vrindavan. Mahant (head priest) of the temple offered ayurvedic medicines to the Lord so that he can be fit soon. The Lord will now be taking the rest of 15 days and will give next darshn on July 6th. Lord Jagannath, Baldev and Subhadra took bath in the mid of mantras, at around 5 p.m. yesterday at the Jagannath temple located at Gyan Gudri.
Mahant Swami Gyan Prakash said that the Lord will now take rest for 15 days as per the tradition, and the doors will reopen on 6th July after a special arti and chappan bhoga Prasad which will run for half a day. After this the Lord Jagannath, Baldev and Subhadra will come out on their respective chariots to explore the city and be back to the temple then. During this period, Lord will be offered special “ang-raag sewa” and he will be given “kaadha” (ayurvedic cough syrup) for two weeks.
