The special Chappan Bhog offered to Lord Jagannath

July 09, 2022

Indian holidays are of several types. It does not only involve only fasting and a vow of quiet (maun vrat). The second variety also exists, some of which also involve heavenly dining. One of them is the annual Jagannath Rath Yatra that takes place in the state of Odisha in Puri. If you’ve ever thought that a feast is only about deep-fried foods, hot curries, and plates full of meat dishes, you’re dead wrong. There is much more to the Rath Yatra event than merely the gastronomic treats we enjoy today.The 56 different food dishes that were presented to the lotus-eyed lord, Lord Jagannath, are known as “Chhappan Bhog.” The food/offering to the god is known as bhog. This daily sacrifice to Lord Jagannath at the Shri Jagannath Temple consists of 56 different foods. In the Sri Mandir, the Bhog/Naivedya is first offered to Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Goddess Subhadra before being presented to Maa Bimala. What is left over after the Nivedana has been accepted by the God is referred to as “Mahaprasad.” In the “Skanda Purana,” Lord Jagannath purifies his followers by allowing them to partake of his mahaprasad and adore him.The temple kitchen can provide food for 100,000 people every day. Only earthen pots are used to prepare Mahaprasad, and only fire and wood are used as a cooking medium. For Lord Jagannath, 240 fires and 600 chefs prepare a variety of rice, vegetables, and desserts. Because the Mahaprasad of Jagannath is so revered, it is claimed that anyone can consume food from a pot that has previously been consumed. There are several preparations of rice like Sadha Anna, Dahi Pakhala , Kanika ,Mitha Pakhala etc. Several sweet preparations like Kheer, Rasabali, Tadia, Sarapulli etc are also served.The Mahaprasada has the beauty of not spoiling even when kept over an extended length of time and of staying hot. There is no prejudice in the consumption of this Mahaprasad by people of all castes and creeds.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
