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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
