There is no unanimity among researchers and authors with regard to the origin of the Nagarjuna Besha. The rare ritual does not find mention in the Srimandir Record of Rights.
Some researchers including Odia author Mahimohan Tripathy are of the opinion that Lord Jagannath is adorned with the Nagarjuna Besha in the sanctum sanctorum of Srimandir to mark the victory of Lord Parashuram, the sixth incarnation (avatara) of Lord Bishnu over a powerful king named Sahashrajuna.

Some other scholars including Professor Umesh Chandra Chinara claim that the Narajuna Besha is organised to remember a battle between Pandav warrior Arjuna and his son Nagarjuna in the Mahabharat war.

A few scholars also claim that the Nagarjuna Besha of Lord Jagannath combines the traditions of Vaishnavism and Shaivism. 'The very idol of Lord Jagannath has some similarities with a serpent and a Shiva linga. The Lord is offered with a serpent hood like Tahia, headgear, during Rath Yatra. Thus, we can say that Nagarjuna Besha is the combination of Vaishnavism and Shaivism culture,' writes author Harihar Kanungo in his book Srijagannath 'O' Rath Yatra.

As per tradition, Lord Jagannath and Lord Balabhadra are adorned with several weapons including Chakra (wheel), Hala (plough), Musala (mace), dagger and knife during Nagarjuna Besha.
