The Jagannath Rath Yatra dedicated to Lord Jagannath will be celebrated on Friday in the holy city of Puri, Odisha. Millions of people gather to observe the procession in Puri where three chariots are heavily decorated carrying three deities- Lord Jagannath, his elder brother Balabhadra, and younger sister Subhadra. The chariots of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra are respectively known as Nandighosh, Taladhwaja and Padmadhwaja.
On this day, Lord Jagannath comes out of the 12th century temple and rides the chariots to the Gundicha temple. This is the only occasion in a year when the deities leave the sanctum sanctorum of the main temple and stay at the Gundicha temple for nine days.
