Puri: The holy trinity in Jagannath temple in Puri have been dressed up in Lakshmi-Nrusingha Besha on the auspicious day of Baikuntha Chatturdarshi, the fourth day of Panchuka.
After the early morning rituals like Mangal Alati, Mailam, Tadapalagi and Abakasha, the Sinhari Sevayats (servitors) dressed the deities in Laxmi Nrusingha Besha.
The deities take this Besha or avatar on Kartika Sukla Chaturdasi tithi (14th day of bright fortnight of Kartika month).
The Lord is decorated with gold ornaments and dressed as half Lion on this occasion.
The besha unfolds the truth that the powerful Nrusingha cult is given due recognition and importance in the Jagannath temple.
Gold ornaments brought from Ratna Bhandar besides thermocol, jari-made Dali and colourful flowers were used to give the deities the avatar which is also known as Dalikia Besha.
