3. *Puṣyā Yātrā:* The ceremony of *Puṣyābhiṣeka* occurs on the full moon of Pauṣa (December-January), when the divinity is bathed with 108 pitchers of water brought from the Vindu-sāgara tank, dressed with new clothes, and offered a garland of mustard flowers, amidst singing and music. No festival corresponding to this is observed in Bengal. The *Ekāmra Purāṇa* provides the ritual for this rite, but it does not allude to 108 pitchers of water. According to it, water from all sacred pools scented with a variety of aromatic substances should be used for the purpose.
