return to Sri Jagannath Temple thru the journey is known as Bahuda
Yatra. On his way back, Jagannath stops for a while at Ardhasani
temple, and offered with his favorite rice cake, the Poda Pitha. The
deities reach Sri. Jagannath Temple in the evening and wait outside
for the day. On the next day, the deities are attired in new
costumes and this new form of the idols is known as Suna Vesa. The
following day, the deities move into the sanctum sanctorum of the
temple and thus concluding the Rath Yatra festival.
The next day known as the Bada Ekadasi,the three deities, are
attired in costumes of glittering gold. This form of the deities is
known as the famous Suna Vesa, the golden attire. On the Dwadasi
day, the three deities go back to Ratna Simhasana, literally the
jewelled platform, with the usual fanfare and the Pahandi
style.Their arrival into the Sanctum sanctorum marks the end of the
RathaYatra the grand festival of chariots.
