Puri: The famous Srimandir in Puri will remain closed for four hours on April 19, 2023 (Wednesday) due to ‘Banaka Lagi’ of Lord Jagannath.
Tomorrow (19.4.2023, Wednesday) on Baisakh-Krishna Chaturdashi Tithi, Shri Vigrahaman Bankalagi Nitti will be held. Therefore, after the end of the second bhoga mandap prasad, the darshan will be closed for the public from 6.00 pm to 10.00 pm.
It is noteworthy that the Banaka Lagi ritual of the deities is performed by a particular class of servitor known as Datta Mahapatra.
The Banaka lagi ritual will begin after the completion of all the other rituals and the second bhoga mandap of Mahaprabhu.
According to culture experts, certain rare forest products are used to prepare the four types of colours- haritala (red), hengula (yellow), sankha (white) and black and these are then applied to the face of the deities.
