After a brief halt, the Holy Trinity- Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra on Monday reached their aunt’s house - Gundicha temple as part of their annual nine-day sojourn.
The deities will be ushered into the ‘Adapa Mandap’ by the servitors after pahandi rituals tomorrow.
Earlier in the day, all three chariots reached the Gundicha temple after they were pulled by the devotees on the second consecutive day on Monday.
This year’s Rath Yatra was unique and rare as multiple rituals including Netra Utsav and Nabajouban darshan of the deities were conducted on the same day.
