Jagannath Bahuda Yatra

After spending seven days in the Gundicha Temple, Lord Jagannath and his siblings, Devi Subhadra and Lord Balabhadra commenced their return trip to Puri's Sri Mandir on July 9. Ceremonial procession rite called the "Bahuda Pahandi" marked the start of the voyage. Ample security precautions were prepared to ensure that the event went off without a hitch due to the massive influx of worshippers brought on by the procession.
