Puri, Nov 3: On the second day of Panchuka, Lord Jagannath graced his devotees in the Trivikram Besha. The temple is currently observing the Panchuka rituals, and thousands of devotees are gathered to witness the rituals of the deity.

To manage the massive crowds, the administration has made elaborate arrangements to ensure smooth and organized access for the devotees. Special measures have been implemented to control the crowds and ensure a safe and spiritual experience for all attendees.

The last five days of the month of Kartika are traditionally known as Panchuka, during which Lord Jagannath appears in five different Besha (attires). This period is considered highly auspicious, and it is believed that the divine darshan during these days brings immense blessings. However, due to the Tithi Kshaya this year, devotees were unable to witness the Bankachuda Besha of the Lord, which is typically a part of the Panchuka celebrations.
