On the eve of the Snana Yatra (which means the Divine Bathing festival, in Odia), the idols of the deities are brought out in a grand procession from the temple to the Snana Bedi (Bathing platform). Devotees come to view the deities.
  On the day of the Snana Yatra, the deities are bathed with 108 pots, of ritually purified water drawn from the northern well of the temple to the accompaniment of religious incantations. After the conclusion of the bathing ritual, Jagannatha and Balabhadra are dressed up as an elephant representing the God Ganesha. This form of the God is called the 'Gajanana Besha'.
  After the Snana Yatra the Gods are traditionally believed to fall ill and are kept in a sick room to recuperate in privacy. This period known as Anasara. In this time period Gods cannot be seen by devotees. At this time three patta chitra paintings are displayed for devotees to view.During the Anasara period devotees go to the Alaranatha temple in Bramhagiri in the belief that Jagannatha appears as Alaranatha during this period.
