Puri: Suna Besha is considered as one of the most spectacular rituals of Rath Yatra as on this auspicious day the Holy Trinity- Lord Balabhadra, Devi Subhadra and Lord Jagannath-gives darshan to millions of devotees embellished with gold. The Suna Besha is also called the Rajadhiraja Besha.
Though no devotees were allowed for this year’s Rath Yatra in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the devotees were glued to their television sets and watched the entire proceedings right from the start of several rituals atop the three gigantic chariots.
Suna Besha ritual though is held several times inside Puri temple, it is on the day after Bahuda Yatra today that the deities adorn the golden attire atop their respective chariots outside the temple.
The deities will adorn nearly 138 kinds of gold ornaments including kiriti, sribhuja, sripahara, kundala, baghadamali, ghagera, kadambamali among others.
