Ba*ler dol thinks they can ruin my mood on Pohela Boishakh.

Sometimes I feel like these people aren't nationalistic, they're hindustanistic. And I'm no Hindustani, I'm a proud Indian Bengali.🇮🇳

THE TEMPLE OF "HARIHARA" AND THE ONLY SHIVA TEMPLE WHERE TULSI OFFERED IN THE LINGAM IN ODISHA

LINGARAJA TEMPLE

BHUBANESHWAR, ODISHA

Bhubaneswar is called the Ekamra Kshetra as the deity of Lingaraja was originally under a mango tree (Ekamra) as noted in Ekamra Purana, a 13th-century Sanskrit treatise. The temple is active in worship practises, unlike most other temples in Bhubaneswar. The temple has images of Vishnu, possibly because of the rising prominence of Jagannath sect emanating from the Ganga rulers who built the Jagannath Temple in Puri in the 12th century. The central deity of the temple, Lingaraja, is worshipped as Shiva.Lingaraja, literally means the king of Lingam, the iconic form of Shiva. Shiva was originally worshipped as Krutivasa and later as Harihara and is commonly referred to as Tribhuvaneshwara (also called Bhubaneswar), the master of three worlds, namely, heaven, earth, and neitherworld. His consort is called Bhuvaneshvari or Gopaluni.

Lingaraja temple is maintained by the Temple Trust Board and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).

Shivaratri is the major festival celebrating in the temple.

The image of Lingaraja is abluted with water (called mahasnana) several times a day and decorated with flowers, sandal paste and cloth. Hemlock or hemlock flowers which are generally offered in other Shiva temples is not allowed in the Lingaraja temple. Bilva leaves (Aegle marmelos) and tulasi (Ocimum sanctum) are used in daily worship. Offerings of cooked rice, curries and sweets are displayed in the bhogamandapa (hall of offering) and the divinity is invoked to accept them amidst scores of chanting of Sanskrit texts. Coconut, ripe plantains and kora-khai are generally offered to Lingaraja by the pilgrims. Bhang beverage is offered to Lingaraja by some devotees especially on the day of Pana Sankranti (Odia new year).

MAHA VISHUBA SANKRANTI.

Maha Vishuba Sankranti, also known as Pana Sankranti and Vishuba Sankranti, is the Odia people's traditional new year. The festival is celebrated by Hindus and Buddhists both in the state. The Odia people on this day visit temples, especially Hanuman temples, as it is the birthday of Lord Hanuman too. It is similar to other Hindu new years celebrated in other states of India, such as Vaisakhi in North India, Bihu in Assam, Puthandu in Tamil Nadu, and Pohela Boishakh in West Bengal. Maha Vishuba Sankranti, as per the Odia calendar, is the first day of the month of Mesha or the 24th day of Chaitra as per the Indian calendar. It is similar to the month of Baisakh of the lunar calendar.
