On Deva Snana Purnima, lakhs gathered at Puri's Jagannath Temple to witness the sacred bathing of the deities. Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, Subhadra, and Sudarshan were brought to the Snana Mandap and bathed with 108 pots of sanctified water. After donning Gaja Vesha, they enter Anasara Ghar for 14 days. Public darshan resumes on June 26 ahead of Rath Yatra.
