Ratha Jatra in Pics: Glimpses of chariot pulling on Bada Danda in Puri

Puri: The three chariots carrying Lord Jagannath and His Holy Siblings Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra reached the Gundicha Temple in Puri during 9-day long Ratha Jatra.

Devotees and security personnel pulled the chariots to the Gundicha Temple. Over a million devotees from across the world witnessed the chariot pulling in Odisha's pilgrim town in two days.

The chariot-pulling ritual was conducted two days this year due to a rare occasion when three major events -- Netra Utsav, Nabajoubana darshan and Ratha Jatra -- fell on the same day.

Here are glimpses of chariots (Taladhwaja, Darpadalana and Nandighosha) while being rolled on Bada Danda (Grand Road) from Singhadwara to Sharadhabali.
