ଅଣସର ଘରେ ଠାକୁର, ସେଥିପାଇଁ ପଟି ଚିତ୍ରର ପୂଜା || "Anasara patti" Worshipping during this "Anasara" Period

During the bathing festival (Deva Snana Purnima) the Deities of the temple have a bath with 108 pots of cold water to fight the heat of summer. After this royal bath ceremony the three Deities are sick and they stay away from the public view for a period of 15 days. This period is known as 'Anasara' or 'Anavasara' period commences from Jyestha purnima and ends with Ashadha amavasya. During these days the Deities stay away from the public view and there is a need for substitute images for the public and to whom daily rituals can be offered at temple, so during this time three patta paintings of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra are worshipped in the temple. These patta paintings are known as 'Anasara patti' or 'Anavasara patti'. During Anasara period the door of Patitapabana, the representative image of Lord Jagannath worshiped at the right side of Simha dwara (main entrance of the temple), is also closed. Besides the three main patta paintings, another small Anasara Pati is also prepared for Patitapabana and placed in front of the door for public view.
