Dipawali Sradha

Dipawali Śrāddha is a sacred ritual performed in honor of ancestors, observed on the Amavasya (new moon day) during the month of Kartika. Devotees offer prayers, food, and rituals to express gratitude and seek blessings from their forefathers. At the Jagannath Temple, this day is marked with deep devotion, traditional offerings, and special pujas for the peace and upliftment of departed souls.
