Bhubaneswar Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi extended his best wishes to all on the occasions of Niladri Bije and Rasagola Divas, on Friday.
Taking to his X handle, CM wrote: “Many many greetings on the occasion of holy Niladri Bije and Rasagola Day. Chaturdhamurthy will be crowned today at Ratna Singhasan after their nine-day-long sojourn. On this occasion, Lord Jagannath offers delicious Rasagola to his beloved wife to pacify her anger.”
It is pertinent to mention that Niladri Bije is also observed as Rasagola Divas in Odisha as Lord Jagannath, who undertakes the journey to Gundicha temple only with his elder brother and sister, pacifies the anger of Goddess Mahalakshmi by offering her Rasagolas.
Niladri Bije marks the concluding ritual of the historic Rath Yatra which commenced on July 7 when the celestial siblings embarked upon a nine-day trip to Gundicha temple, regarded as their birthplace.
