The Adhara Pana is offered to the deities to break their Ekadasi fast. The deities are offered Adhara Pana in huge cylindrical earthen pots reaching up to their lips and the quantity is nearly 100 litres. 9 cylindrical pots are used in this ritual (3 for each deity).

Raghava Das Matha offers the Adhara Pana to the Deities during this occasion. Immediately after the ritual offering, the pot is broken on the Ratha itself, and the pana, the mahaprasad, flows out.

Adharpana is intended for the Parswa Devatas & the spirits who attended & guarded the Lords during their Rath Yatra. It is believed that the spirits which are with the Gods during the Rath Yatra, find 'Moksha' after drinking the Adharpana. It should not be consumed by anyone else
