Gahana Bije (Odia: ଗହନ ବିଜେ) is the ceremonial visit which is done by once in a generation of the Gajapati Queens of Odisha where they do special Puja to Lord Jagannatha.
The queen can have darshan of the Lord as much as she can but she can perform ritual only once in her lifetime[1] At that time, all the aged priests and public should vacate the temple,[2] and only one Brahmin boy and two Brahmin married ladies should accompany the queen to the sanctum sanctorum.
After coming to temple, all the gates are closed and queen makes special Puja to the sibling deities.
Finally she is accompanied by His Highness Gajapati Maharaja to the Royal Palace.
Last time in 2007 the present queen of Gajapati Shri Dibyasingha Deba, Maharani Leelabati Pattamahadei at the age of 51 came for such Gahana Bije.
