Niladri Bije, Puri
The deities' homecoming that closes the Rath Yatra
Niladri Bije is the heart-warming finale of the Rath Yatra, when the deities re-enter the sanctum (Ratna Bedi) of the Jagannath Temple.
What happens
The rituals are famous for their charm — including the playful episode where Goddess Lakshmi, upset at being left behind during the festival, is appeased with the offering of Rasagola, traditionally linking Puri to Odisha's beloved sweet.
A festive close
It wraps up the great festival week that includes Bahuda Yatra and Suna Besha.
Where to stay
