Chhatisha Nijog meeting held in Puri

There is less likelihood of seeing Suna Besha at Srimandira in Puri, Odisha, this year since the moon eclipse will occur on November 8—Kartika Purnima—on that day. Today’s Chhatisha Nijog meeting took place, and several significant issues were covered.

According to reports, the sun will rise on this day at 5.54 am. Therefore, beginning at this time, “pakatyaga” (fasting on the occasion of an eclipse) and “Devaniti Nisedh” (observing no religious rituals) must be observed. The Lord’s Suna Besha should be held on this day. Devotees may thus not get the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the Suna Besha due to the aforementioned restriction.

According to the schedule of Srimandira, the well-known Lord Jagannath temple in Puri, on November 8th, the “Dwaraphita” will begin at 12.10 am, the “Suna Besha” will be finished by 2.30 am, and the “Bhoga Mandapa ritual” will be finished by 5.50 am. According to the report, the Grahana Mahasnana, Grahana Bhoganiti, and other rituals would be performed after the eclipse but Suna Besha darshan is not feasible. Additionally, in order to quickly carry out the Panchuka ceremonies, the Puri government has asked the servitors for assistance.
