Read the previous post on Temple Song.

At night after the BadaSinghara Bhesh when the Badasinghara Bhog is brought and placed inside the sanctum and when three Pujapanda's servitors to offer the bhog in Pancha upchar rituals took their place and when everything is set and when they start the puja inside the Garbha griha of Jagannatha Temple then the attendants of Bada chata matha along with some devotees began to sing some unique songs in a very beautiful tune at the Jaya Vijay Dwar of the temple, so the first song which is sung during the bhog is "Sukha nidhi Raghu bara".

Sukha Nidhi Raghu Bara

Then a secret idol moves from bhandar ghar to Ratnasinghasan and there after getting a aagyamala as a token of permission from Jagannatha. when the idols is brought and placed near the Jaya Vijay Dwar then 'Purushottama Prabhu' song is being sung.
