This is a very popular festival in the month of
May-June .Lord Jagannath takes part in a boat ride in a nearby pond in
Puri not far off from the temple. The replica and representative of Lord
Jagannath called Madan Mohan, takes part in a dancing festival as if
replaying the leela of Lord Krishna with Radha in the temple tank called
Narendra Tank. The festival continues for nearly twenty one days when
devotees gather and dance and sing bhajans with some young people even
swimming along with Lord Jagannath on a boat ride.
