Thread 🧵

"Adhara Pana" ritual is performed on the Rathas of the Deities on the 11th day of the Rath Yatra. ‘Adhara’ means ‘Lip’ and ‘Pana’ is a sweet scented drink made of milk, sugar, cheese, banana, camphor, nutmeg, black pepper etc.

++
The Adhara Pana is offered to the deities to break their Ekadasi fast. The deities are offered Adhara Pana in huge cylindrical earthen pots reaching up to their lips and the quantity is nearly 100 litres. 9 cylindrical pots are used in this ritual (3 for each deity).

++
Raghava Das Matha offers the Adhara Pana to the Deities during this occasion. Immediately after the ritual offering, the pot is broken on the Ratha itself, and the pana, the mahaprasad, flows out.
