Marking the beginning of the annual Rath Yatra of Lord Balabhadra, Lord Jagannath, and Devi Subhadra, the Snana Purnima rituals started in Puri amidst tight security on Sunday. Held on the full-moon day of the month of Jyestha, Snana Purnima carries lots of significance for Odias. The deities, once placed on the bathing platform, are bathed with 108 pitchers of sacred water. After the holy bath, deities are decked up in Gajanana Besha. The Snana Yatra culminates after the Lords are taken to the 'Anasara Ghara' on Pahandi. Soon after the ceremonial bath, the deities fall sick and go into a 15-day quarantine. After a full fortnight of rest, they reappear to the public (Netrotsav) a day before Srigundicha—the first day of Rath Yatra.
