You might not find elaborate arrangements or offerings here. But there is no dearth of devotion for the Holy Trinity. You will not find servitors surrounding the deities, but what you will find, is a young boy whose devotion for Lord Jagannath is truly extraordinary. Fifteen-year-old Subhranshu Nayak from Rajsunakhala under Ranpur Block of Nayagarh district is not just a follower, but his love and deep adoration for Lord Jagannath run much deeper.
In his home, he has instated the Holy Trinity and ensures that all rituals of the deities are conducted. So much so that he conducts the ceremonial beshas (avatars) of the Lord and his siblings. Be it Lord’s Bada Singhara Besha or Nagarjuna Besha. Be it Padma Besha, or even the famous Suna Besha, Subhranshu ensures that all traditional rituals are followed to perfection. Such is Shubhranshu’s devotion that even his family members say that he doesn’t start his day or even consume a morsel of food, till he offers his prayers to the almighty.
Subhranshu’s devotion has reached far and wide. Villagers often praise this teenager’s immense reverence towards Lord Jagannath. They say that since they can’t visit Srimandir often, they get to experience the various beshas (outfits) of the Lord at Subhranshu’s place.
