PURPORT

The Gundica mandira is situated in Jagannatha Puri, and every year Jagannatha, Balabhadra and Subhadra come there from the Jagannatha temple to stay for eight days. When Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu lived at Jagannatha Puri, every year He personally cleansed this temple with His principal devotees. The Gundica-marjana chapter of Caitanya-caritamrta describes this vividly.
