Puri: Lord Jagannath and his siblings returned to their abode, Jagannath Temple, after spending seven days at Gundicha Temple on Wednesday.

Chants of ‘Hari Bol’ beating of cymbals and blowing of conch shells filled the air of Puri as Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra made their way to their respective chariots from Gundicha Temple this morning.
The Pahandi ritual was conducted between 7.20 am and 9.55 am. Following which, Puri Gajapati King Divyasingha Deb performed Chherapanhara ritual on the three chariots.
