In Jagannath temple Puri ,when the cooked food carried to the Garbhagriha for offering in the earthen pots no flavors comes up from the food but when it is offered to Mahaprabhu Jagannath first then to Maa Vimala & carried to the Ananda Bazara a delicious smell

comes out along the breeze to give a pleasant surprise to devotees.

It is a tradition that any prasad offered to Jagannath will be offered to Maa Vimala and then it becomes Mahaprasada.
Mahaprasada in kaliyug is considered as the rupa of Urmila,Sri Lakshman's wife,who is blessed

by Prabhu Ram that she will be the Mahapeasada and by her fragrance she will spread the flavour and worshiped with high dignity by devotees of Mahaprabhu.
