According to the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA), the devotees will not be allowed Darshan of the deities from 5 pm to 8 pm because of Bamana Janmotchav (Birthday of Lord Bamana, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu)
Bamana Janmotsav will be celebrated after mid-day Dhupa is conducted.
It may be noted that Lord Vishnu had taken Bamana Avatar (Dwarf Incarnation) to kill King Bali, who was very proud to be a giver.
Special rituals are held in the Shreemandir on this day. Lord Jagannath is adorned in Bamana Vesha.
