Gobinda Dwadasi, or Govinda Dwadashi, is an auspicious day which falls on the 12th day during the waxing phase of the moon in Phalguna or Falgun month. Gobind Dwadasi is considered highly auspicious by Vishnu devotees. In 2009, Gobinda Dwadasi is of great significance at the Puri Jagannath Temple. A rare combination of calculations as per Hindu astrology and almanac taking place after 48 years provides the opportunity to take holy dip at the Mahodadhi Teerth on Puri coast. In 2009, the date of Gobinda Dwadasi is March 8.Such a rare combination in Hindu Almanac associated with Gobinda Dwadai at Puri Jagannath Temple had last happened in 1961. The chance to take a holy dip at Mahodadhi Teerth and visit Jagannath Temple is happening after 48 years. Mahodadhi Tirth is a six kilometer long stretch of the Puri Seacoast from Chakra Tirth to Swargdwar.
It is expected that more than half-a-million devotees will take a dip at Puri Jagannath Temple seacoast on the auspicious day of Gobinda Dwadasi Buda.
The Ekadasi on March 7 is known as Papanashini Ekadasi in Orissa due to the Pushya Nakshatra on March 8.
