By Bizodisha Bureau, Bhubaneswar, July 3, 2017 : The three chariots Taladhwaja (Lord Balabhadra), Debadalana (Goddess Subhadra) & Nandighosa (Lord Jagannath), on Monday returned back to Srimandir ahead of schedule marking the end to the nine-day sojourn of the Lord and his siblings to their aunt’s place – Gundicha temple.

The rituals began early as the Pahandi of the Trinity started one and a half hours ahead of schedule.

Keeping in mind the huge turnout of devotees, the Police administration had deployed around 100 platoons of force. For traffic management, 36 platoons were deployed.

“We have replicated the police arrangements of Rath Yatra for the Bahuda Yatra as well for traffic, security, darshan and chariot pulling,” said IG Central Range, Soumendra Priyadarshi.

With the conclusion of Bahuda Yatra, all preparations are being put in place for the ‘Sunabesha’ ritual of the Lords tomorrow.
