Chandan Besha:- Chandan Besha is adorned by Mahapravu Shree Jagannath for 42 days in the month of Baisakh on every third Full Moon day (April-May) starting from the auspicious “AkshyaTritiya” .This is the hottest part of the year and the adornment is meant to cool off the deity. As its name suggests, in Chandana Besha, sandalwood paste is applied on the Mahapravu Shree Jagannath to cool him. About half a kilogram of sandalwood paste is prepared in the temple complex to be applied on the idols. After the idols are decked up, the deities are offered some food items appropriate for the summer.
Saahasra Kumbha Abhiseka: On Aswina Krushna Astami Tithi i.e. the 8th day of the dark fortnight of Aswina (September-October) and sometimes on the 7th day abhisek of Maa Durga image is done. From this day onwards, Shohala Puja (puja for 16 days) of Maa Bimala is performed. It is the special esoteric worship performed in the Maa Bimala Temple for 16 days.
Dasahaara: On Aswina Sukla Dasami Tithi i.e. the 10th day of the bright fortnight of Aswina (September-October), the Raja Besa of the deities takes place and the ayudhas (weapons) of the deities are worshipped.
Parswaparibartana: This festival takes place on Bhadraba Sukla Ekadasi Tithi i.e. the 11th day of the bright fortnight of Bhadraba (August- September). The deities enjoying sleep change sides on this day.
