How a centuries-old bhog connects Lord Jagannath to Devaki

At Srimandir, Lord Jagannath is believed to receive a special medicinal bhog during Janmashtami. Prepared with sacred herbs, the offering is associated with Devaki’s divine motherhood and symbolically honours the sacred womb. This centuries-old ritual beautifully blends devotion, healing and spirituality, giving Janmashtami a unique significance.
