Odisha is a land which is rich in its festivals and traditions. Similarly Chita lagi Amavasya is one of the important festival celebrated in Shri Jagannath Temple of Puri, Odisha. Every year on the occasion of Chita Lagi Amavasya, which falls on the no moon day of Shravan month in the Hindu calendar, special rituals are performed inside the Jagannath temple. Chita is an emerald locket worn on the forehead of lord Jagannatha throughout the year. It is taken out during Snanna yatra lest it gets spoil during the sacred bath. It is re-worn on this amabasya. Hence, it is named Chita. So people of Odisha celebrate this by preparing Chitou pitha. “Chitau Pitha” is offered to the Lord’s of Puri Shree Jagannath temple. “Chitau Pitha” is a special kind and combination of pancake which is made of rice and coconut.
