Avabhrita-Snana (also Tirtha Snana) is the ceremonial bath of the icons in the river or pond, marking the conclusion of the festival is a significant event in the festival. Often, the day of Tirtha-snana is first determined and the date of commencement of the Uthsava is then worked out (Cf. Purushottama Samhita, 23; Purva-karanagama, 141). It is best (satvika) if the Tirthasnana takes place on ninth day from the commencement of the Utsava. It is middling (rajasa) if the Tirthasnana is on the seventh day. It is inferior (tamasa) if the Tirtha-snana is on the fifth day.
