When the Holy trinity of Lord Jagannath, his siblings Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra remain out of public view during ‘Anasara Basa,’ or period of recovery post  Snana Jatra. 

Snana Jatra is the time when the lords bathe in 108 pots of cold water to fight the summer heat. As per customs, the Holy Trinity then falls ill and hence remain out of bounds for devotees. 

As per the belief, Lord Jagannath manifests in the form of Lord Alarnath for 15 days during ‘Anasara’ of the deities after Snana Purnima during the eve of Rath Yatra. Thus, during the 'Anasara' period, Jagannath Bhakts rush to the Alarnath temple, located at Brahmagiri near Puri, Odisha to have his darshan. 

It is believed that devotees have the blessing of Lord Jagannath after having darshan of Alarnath. The devotees also get Lord Alarnath’s favourite dish Khiri Prasad (Kheer) at Alarnath.
