Kartik Purnima & Bali Yatra Near Puri
The holy month of Kartik and the Boita Bandana ritual
Kartik Purnima (full moon of the Kartik month, usually November) is a deeply auspicious day in Puri, closing the holy month of Kartik when many devotees observe special vows (Habisha).
What happens
On this day, Odias float small boats (Boita Bandana) in memory of the region's ancient maritime trade — a lovely ritual seen at Puri's ghats and tanks. Pilgrim numbers at the Jagannath Temple swell.
When to come
November is also one of the best times to visit Puri — pleasant weather and festive spirit.
