Every year, after the grand Snana Purnima ritual, something extraordinary happens in the spiritual world of Lord Jagannath. The doors of the Jagannath Temple remain closed because the Lord is believed to fall ill after the ceremonial bath. But does that mean devotees are left without His blessings? Surprisingly, no. During these sacred 15 days, millions of devotees turn their hearts toward one ancient temple that many people still know very little about Alarnath Temple. This holy place is not just an alternative destination; it is believed to become Lord Jagannath's divine abode until He recovers.
