Salutations to Sri Jagannath who today appears in pure-gold attire.
How to recite
On Bahuda Ekadashi (the day after Bahuda Yatra) the three deities, still on Their chariots in front of the main temple, are decorated with 208 kg of pure gold ornaments (crowns, hands, feet, chakras). This is one of only a handful of Suna Vesha darshans across the year and the most accessible. View the live darshan; visit Puri if possible; chant Jagannath's names through the evening.
Benefits
Suna Vesha darshan is said to grant the spiritual benefit of having darshan during Vaikuntha Dwadashi. The ornaments — which include hands and feet (the deities normally have only stumps) — are considered a reminder that the Lord assumes any form for His devotees.
