Rasgola connection with lord jagannath and maa laxmi
Rathayatra : Today is Rasgola Day. This day is celebrated on the occasion of the Niladri pilgrimage of Lord Jagannath. On this day, Lord Jagannath returns from the Srigundicha temple and visits the Srimandir. This is a unique tradition of offering Rasgola to Goddess Lakshmi, who has been worshipped for so long. This tradition shows the importance of this sweet in Odia culture.
On this occasion, Rasgola Day is being celebrated across Odisha, which is not just a sweet, but a symbol of Odia culture, heritage and passion. For the people of Odisha, Rasgola is more than a delicious food; it is a witness to centuries-old history and national pride.
The origin of rasgola is linked to the holy shrines of Odisha. The tradition of rasgola as an offering to Lord Jagannath began around the 12th century. This sweet, which is offered to Lord Mahaprabhu during the Niladri Bije and Rath Yatra in Puri, is in keeping with the spirit of Odia. In support of Odisha’s demand, rasgola was granted the GI tag in 2019, which further strengthens its historical value.
Rasgola Day has brought the people of Odisha together and brought its historical and cultural significance to the world. It has reminded us how a small sweet can be the autobiography of a nation.
The Mythological Ties Of Rasagola Dibasa
According to legend, the story behind Rasagola Dibasa begins when Lord Sudarshan, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra enter the temple at Puri, but Goddess Lakshmi prevents Lord Jagannath from entering since he refused to let her accompany him to the Gundicha Temple. A fight breaks out in front of the temple, but is calmed when Lord Jagannath offers a peace offering of Rasagolas along with an apology. Goddess Lakshmi accepts his offering and allows him to enter, and since then these sweets have been a symbol of peace and divine harmony.
