Adhara Pana — મહત્વ
Sweet drink ritual at Puri during the Rath Yatra. Large earthen pots filled with a milk-jaggery-spice mixture are placed before the chariots and then broken so the drink flows freely — believed to satiate the spirits accompanying the deities and the unseen devotees.
Adhara Pana — મહત્વ
In Puri tradition, the chariots of Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra travel with the visible deities AND with all the unseen presences (chetan and achetan beings) — celestial beings, spirits, and the bhutas attending the Lord. As mortal devotees can pull the chariot and receive darshan, but the unseen accompanying souls cannot partake of earthly bhog, Adhara Pana is offered as their portion. The earthen pots are raised to the level of the deities' adhar (lower lip) — giving the ritual its name — and then ceremonially broken so the drink seeps into the earth, reaching all beings unseen. The ritual emphasises Jagannath's grace as universal — extending beyond what is visible.
