Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 Skanda Purana 2.2 chapter 42 describes Sri Krishna Pusya abhiseka as one of the festivals observed for Lord Jagannath in Puri. This chapter gives an elaborate description of the rituals for observing the festival. In the 27th chapter text 99 of the same section of Skanda Purana the pusya naksatra is also mentioned. There it is said that it was on a Thursday, astami tithi, during sukla-paksa of the month of Vaishakha in conjuction with the pusya-naksatra that that Lord Jagannath was installed in the original temple in Puri.
