Nagarjuna Besha of Lord Jagannath is happening after 26 years, that is being held today at Puri Srimandir.
This celebration of Nagarjuna Besha is special since it is observed only in those years where the ‘panchuka’, the last five days of the holy month of Karthika, is observed for six days.
Devotees missed out on witnessing Nagarjuna Besha of the Trinity in Sri Jagannath temple this year due to restrictions induced by the COVID pandemic.
