Hera Panchami 2021

Shrikhetra has its own special
significance on an everyday basis. The lifestyle of the Lords has no difference
than of the common people. Kalia Thakura is worshiped in the temple with
his elder brother and sister. Many deities, including wife Lakshmi and Vimala
Maa, are worshiped in Bad Deula. In a festival like Rath Yatra, Lord
leaves Lakshmi in Bad Deula and travels with his brother and sister to Gundicha
temple. After staying there for nine days, the three Lords return to the Bad
Deula.

What
happens in Hera Panchami?  

On
the fifth day of the Rath Yatra is celebrated as Hera Panchami. 
Symbolizing to Maa Lakshmi’s pride, on the fifth day of the holy month of Asadha
this day is observed in Puri. The lord of the universe, Jagannath himself,
becomes the victim of the wrath of his wife. On this day, on the advice of Maa
Bimala, Maa Lakshmi goes to the Gundicha temple and sees the Lord in the
midnight but does not meet because of anger. On the way of returning she breaks
the wood of Nandighosa(Jagannath’s chariot) so that her intentions of anger can
be informed to the Lord. On the way back, Maa comes to the Bad Deula
through Haragauri Sahi. It refers to the rights and close relationship of the
wife over her husband.
