Jagannath Enters Ritual Isolation After Sacred Bath
Following the abhishek, the deities were adorned in the special Gajapati (elephant) attire before the temple doors were closed for 15 days. During this period, the deities will receive herbal medicines and fruit offerings. The temple's grand Rath Yatra will be held on July 16, with 32 devotees selected through a draw to perform the ceremonial chariot services.
