Car Festival Symbolises lyrics
by Gajanan Mishra
Car festival of Lord jagannath Lord Balabhadra and Subhadra symbolises
Lords desire to come out of the temple
For a brief period to give darshan and to redeem to patitas.
The chariot of Lord Jagannath and His brother Lord Balanhadra and His sister Devi Subhadra are dragged by thousands of devotees in their Respective chariots from the main gate of Sri Mandira to Gundicha Mandira near about 3 kms away
At Gundicha Mandira the Lord along with His entourage remains for 7 days. Chariots move on Grand Road Bada danda
The Gods peform their return journey on the 9th dayand this is known as Bahuda Jatra
