Jaya Jagannath,

Today, after the nine days long stay at Gundicha Temple, the three deities will return to Sri Jagannath Temple thru the journey is known as Bahuda Yatra. On his way back, Jagannath will stop for a while at Ardhasani temple, and offered with his favorite rice cake, the Poda Pitha. The deities will reach Sri. Jagannath Temple in the evening and wait outside for the day.

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.

Team Nilachakra wishes all the devotees an auspicious Bahuda Yatra and extends invitation on behalf of Sri Jagannath temples across the world to all the devotees to join the festivity. Jaya Jagannath.

Regards
Team Nilachakra
