Rasagola Dibasa Mythological Legend
Rasagola is believed to have originated from Shri Jagannath Temple in Puri as ‘Khira Mohana,’ which eventually evolved into ‘Pahala Rasagoloa.’ The dish has been traditionally offered as ‘bhod’ to Goddess Lakshmi at the temple. According to the legend, once Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra entered the sanctum, Goddess Laxmi locked the Jai Vijay Diwar, one of the temple gates, preventing Lord Jagannath’s entry into the temple. She refused to let Lord Jagannath enter, expressing her displeasure at being excluded. What follows is a divine persuasion.
Lord Jagannath pleads for forgiveness and offers Rasagolas to Goddess Laxmi to appease her anger. The soft, syrup-soaked sweets made of chhena melt her anger, and the Goddess opens the gates, allowing Mahaprabhu to re-enter the Srimandir. In honour of the legend, devotees in Odisha began celebrating Rasagola Dibasa on Niladri Bije. The deities are brought back into the Srimandir through the Jay Vijaya Dwar in a ceremonial process known as Goti Pahandi. The dieties are taken inside, one after another and placed on the Ratna Singhasan.
