Puri: Nandighosha, the chariot of Lord Jagannatha, has begun to roll on Bada Danda after Debadalana of Devi Subhadra and Taladhwaja of Lord Balabhadra, signalling the beginning of the annual sojourn of the sibling deities of Jagannath Temple in Puri.
The pulling of the chariot began at 12.15 pm, almost three hours ahead of schedule.
Here are some pictures from Rath Yatra, which is being held with the participation of devotees for the second consecutive year in view of the COVID pandemic.
