Hare Krishna,

AGTSP, AG2SG+G,

PAMHO,

 

This is what I have found on the ISKCON New Zealand website:

 

// At the beginning of winter, there is a ceremony known as the Odana

Shashti. This ceremony indicates that from that day forward, a winter

covering should be given to Lord Jagannätha. That covering is

directly purchased from a weaver. According to the arcana-märga, a

cloth should first be washed to remove all the starch, and then it

can be used to cover the Lord. Pundarika Vidyänidhi saw that the

priest neglected to wash the cloth before covering Lord Jagannätha.

Since he wanted to find some fault in the devotees, he became

indignant. //

 

 

Haribol

Mahendra
