Puri: Smoothly and devoutly, the Deva Snana Purnima Utsav, a festival dedicated to the Trinity—Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Devi Subhadra commenced in holy city of Puri.
Heavy rain lashed across Puri, the holy city of Odisha. In the rain the devotees have rejoiced and are catching a glimpse of the Lord.
A humid morning and a heavy downpour later in the day could not prevent enthusiastic devotees of Lord Jagannath of coming out in lakhs.
Chants of ‘Hari Bol’ and sounds produced by gongs and conches reverberated through the humid air creating a mesmerising atmosphere that was both holy and ecstatic.
The very sight of the three majestic was captivating.
