Several rituals will be performed today before the deities are taken out of the Gundicha temple and placed on the three chariots for the return journey. The divine siblings will be taken to their chariots in an elaborate ritual called ‘Pahandi’ to the beating of gongs, cymbals and blowing of conch shells.
Later, Puri Gajapati Maharaj Dibyasingha Deb would perform the ‘Chhera Panhara’ rituals where he will be offering prayers to the deities and then sweep the the chariots with a golden broom and sprinkle flowers and fragrant water.
The giant chariots will then be pulled by the devotees on Bada Danda, the grand avenue leading to the Sri Jagannath temple up to the Lion’s gate (Singhadwara) in front of it where they would be stationed till July 25.
As per the ritual timings declared by the Sri Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA), the Senapata ritual will be performed till 11 am and Bahuda Pahandi from 12 am till 2.30 pm. The Puri Gajapati will perform the Chhera Panhara rituals from 2.30 pm till 3.30 pm followed by loosening of Charamala.
Devotees will pull the colourfully decorated chariots for the return journey at 4 pm, informed SJTA.
Meanwhile, a multi-layer security net has been thrown in the holy town of Puri with heavy deployment of forces to ensure smooth celebrations and prevent any untoward incident during the day.
