At the beginning of winter, there is a ceremony known as the Oòana-ñañöhé. This ceremony indicates that from that day forward, a winter covering should be given to Lord Jagannätha. That covering is directly purchased from a weaver. According to the arcana-märga, a cloth should first be washed to remove all the starch, and then it can be used to cover the Lord. Puëòaréka Vidyänidhi saw that the priest neglected to wash the cloth before covering Lord Jagannätha. Since he wanted to find some fault in the devotees, he became indignant.
