The revered Suna Besha ritual of Lord Jagannath at the Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri will be observed at night today in view of the Ketu-grasta lunar eclipse. Traditionally held during the daytime, the ceremonial adornment of the deities with gold ornaments has been rescheduled in accordance with religious norms associated with eclipses.

Temple sources said the doors were opened at 1:00 am and scheduled rituals were completed in the early hours. However, Devaniti (daily rituals) have remained suspended from 6:08 am onward as per customary practices observed during eclipse periods. The temple administration stated that the exact timing of the procession to the Dolabedi will depend on the smooth completion of rituals during the day.

As part of the tradition, after receiving the Agyan Mala of Lord Jagannath, the Chalanti Pratima — Dola Gobinda — along with Bhudevi and Sridevi, will proceed to the Dolabedi in the Mani Bimana. During the ritual, the deities play with abir and phagu in the presence of devotees. Experts note that darshan of Dola Gobinda on this occasion is considered highly auspicious, with the deity performing multiple circumambulations as part of the observance.

The temple administration has assured that all rituals will be conducted strictly in line with prescribed traditions while adhering to eclipse-related restrictions.
