Hera Panchami

Hera Panchami is a unique and beautiful ritual observed on the fifth day of the Rath Yatra festival at JCARC, replicating the traditions of the Jagannath Temple in Puri. On this day, Goddess Lakshmi visits the Gundicha Temple in search of Lord Jagannath, expressing her loving anger over his sudden departure without her.

The ceremony is filled with devotion, symbolic drama, and sacred rituals that reflect the divine relationship between Lord Jagannath and Lakshmi Devi. Devotees gather to witness this emotional yet joyful episode, which ends with the Goddess returning in a grand procession. The temple resonates with chants, music, and cultural performances, bringing the ancient tradition to life in Adalaj.

Join us for this spiritually enriching event and be part of a sacred love story from the divine realm.
