Gajanana Besa: Shri Jagannath’s Grace on Snana Purnima

Snana Purnima is a sacred day for devotees of Shri Jagannath Mahaprabhu. It is on this day that the deities are bathed in 108 pitchers of holy water and adorned in the magnificent Gajanana Besa. This unique form depicts Shri Jagannath as Lord Ganesha, showcasing His divine grace and fulfilling the wishes of His devotees.

The Tale of Ganapati Bhata

The story of Gajanana Besa is deeply intertwined with the devotion of Ganapati Bhata, a dedicated follower of Lord Ganesha. He journeyed to Puri, hoping to witness Shri Jagannath in the form of Ganesha. Initially disappointed, Ganapati Bhata left the Snana Mandap disheartened. However, through divine intervention, he was brought back and granted the miraculous vision of Shri Jagannath in the Gajanana Rupa. Overwhelmed with joy, he requested that this form be celebrated every Snana Purnima, a tradition that continues to this day.

The Significance of Gajanana Besa

Gajanana Besa is a beautiful reminder of Shri Jagannath’s boundless compassion and His ability to manifest in various forms to bless His devotees. The Gajanana Rupa, with its distinctive elephant features and a harmonious blend of white and black hues, symbolizes the unity of different spiritual paths and the all-encompassing nature of the divine.
