निलाद्री बिजे — महत्त्व
निलाद्री बिजे — पुरी रथ यात्रेचा अंतिम दिवस (आषाढ शुक्ल त्रयोदशी). जगन्नाथ मुख्य मंदिरात परतण्याचा दिवस. परंपरेनुसार लक्ष्मी रागावून दार बंद करते; जगन्नाथ रसगुल्ले अर्पण करून आत प्रवेश मिळवतात — यामुळे "रसगुल्ला दिवस" म्हणूनही ओळखला जातो.
निलाद्री बिजे — महत्त्व
After Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra return from the Gundicha Temple on Bahuda Yatra (Day 10), the chariots remain at the Singhadwara — the lion gate of the main temple — for three days. On Trayodashi, the deities are taken from the chariots into the temple. According to Puri tradition, Goddess Mahalakshmi, who had been left behind in the main temple, is displeased that Jagannath went to Gundicha without informing Her. She bars the door of the Jay Vijay Dwar (the inner gate). Jagannath, in a beloved act of placation, offers Her Rasagola — the round chhena sweet — to win Her forgiveness. Only then does She permit Him entry. This episode is the origin of "Rasagola Dibasa," celebrated across Odisha on the same day with mass distribution of the sweet.
