Lord Balabhadra’s chariot Taladhwaja rolled on the Badadanda amidst a symphony of chants, conches and gongs. This will be followed by Darpadalana, the Chariot of Devi Subhadra and finally Lord Jagannath’s Chariot, Nandighosa, will be pulled.

All the three chariots will be pulled and placed near the Mausima temple.

It is to be noted here that the annual Rath Yatra is being held without the participation of any devotee as per the direction of the Supreme Court. Devotees have been prohibited to attend the annual car festival in the wake of COVID pandemic.
