The Snana Ustav or Yatra is a ritual marking the ceremonial bathing of Lord Jagannath and his siblings ahead of the annual Rath Yatra festival. This event signifies the beginning of the Rath Yatra celebrations. The Srimandir administration has released the schedule of Snana Purnima full-day rituals. The Sunakua, or Golden Well, within Puri's Jagannath Temple, is used only once a year on Snana Purnima to bathe the deities with 108 pots of sacred water. Believed to contain the essence of all holy rivers, the well is steeped in legend, secrecy, and deep spiritual significance.
