After a gap of a few hours, pulling of chariots of Mahaprabhu Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra resumed as part of the two-day Rath Yatra in Puri on Monday. There was no let up in the enthusiasm among the devotees as they thronged Puri to take part in the grand Rath Yatra festival.
On Sunday, the chariot pulling in Puri had to be halted for the day after sunset. While Lord Balabhadra's Chariot Taladhwaja halted at Marichikote Chhak, Darpadalana, the chariot of Devi Subhadra, stopped near Srikrishna Cinema Hall and Lord Jagannath's chariot Nandighosa halted after rolling some distance from the Singhadwar.
Since early morning today, devotees were seen having darshan of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra on their respective majestic chariots.
It was a unique show of devotion and emotions as many devotees expressed their happiness after witnessing the deities on the chariots.
It is only during the Rath Yatra festival that the deities of Puri Srimandir come out of the temple to give darshan to the devotees on Bada Danda during their nine-day sojourn.
