Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu saw the upala-bhoga ceremony at the temple of Jagannātha every day. Afterward, He visited the three great personalities on His way home.
Upala-bhoga is an offering made on a stone slab just behind the Garuḍa-stambha. The stone slab is called the upala.
Food is offered within the temple room just below Jagannātha’s altar. This particular offering was made on the stone slab within public view, so it is called upala-bhoga.
