Upon seeing the bathing ceremony of Lord JagannÄtha, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu became very happy. But when Lord JagannÄtha retired after the ceremony, Lord Caitanya became very unhappy because He could not see Him.
After the bathing ceremony of ÅšrÄ« JagannÄtha, which takes place just a fortnight before the Ratha-yÄtrÄ ceremony, the body of the Lord JagannÄtha Deity is repainted, and this takes just about a fortnight to complete. This period is called Anavasara. There are many who visit the temple to see Lord JagannÄtha regularly every day, and for them His retirement after the bathing ceremony is unbearable. ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu felt Lord JagannÄtha’s absence from the temple very much.
