14. *Utthāna-caturdaśī Yātrā*, the 14th of the waxing moon in the month of Kārtika. This day completes the four months' sleep to which the gold and silver images are consigned by the festival noted under the head of *Śayana*, and so at midnight, amidst music and singing, and after some ritualistic observances, the images are taken out of bed, bathed, dressed in new clothes, and worshipped in due form. As Viṣṇu is put to bed on the 11th lunation of Āṣāḍha, he completes his four months three days earlier, and rises on the 11th of Kārtika. The ritual details in either case are very much the same, and could not well be otherwise. This completes the list of the fourteen great festivals or Mahā-yātrās of Bhuvaneśvara. At each of these ceremonies every pious worshipper is required to go through certain ritual observances and make special offerings.
