⁠Navayawan Darshan / Netra Lagi

Navayawan Darshan, also known as Netra Lagi, is a sacred ritual where devotees receive a glimpse of Lord Jagannath after a period of seclusion during the Anasara. On this auspicious day, the Lord is adorned with freshly painted divine eyes — a moment that symbolizes spiritual renewal and divine grace.

Thousands gather at JCARC to witness this rare darshan and feel the deep spiritual connection with the Lord. It marks the beginning of the most vibrant and awaited phase leading to the grand Rath Yatra.
