At Puri, a grand festival known as 'Snana Purnima' or 'Snana
Yatra' takes place on the
full moon day in the month of Jyestha. It is a special occasion where Lord Jagannatha,
Baladeva, and Subhadra are bathed in an abhisheka ceremony.
To participate in the joyous festivities and receive the Lord's blessings,

According to the Skanda Purana, this tradition was established by King Indradyumna
during the installation of the Deities. It is believed that seeing Lord Jagannatha
on
this day can absolve ourselves of our past sins, which is why thousands of devotees
from
around the world flock to Puri to witness this holy festival.
Following the sacred bath ritual, the Deities take on a unique and delightful form
known
as 'Hati Vesha' or 'Gaja Vesha' in the evening. During this part of the festival,
Lord
Jagannatha and Lord Balarama are adorned with ornate elephant costumes, complete
with
trunks and tusks. Subhadra takes on the appearance of a beautiful lotus flower.
Just like in Puri, the Snana Yatra festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm at
ISKCON Bangalore's Vaikuntha Hill. The Deities are bathed with panchamrita, pancha
gavya, and other auspicious items to keep Them cool during the summer months.
To participate in the joyous festivities and receive the Lord's
blessings,
