Chariots roll on Bada Danda amid sea of devotees

Puri(By Abhishek Mohanty): The giant chariots of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra rolled on the Bada Danda (Grand Road) on the occasion of Rath Yatra.

Puri town resonated with chants of Jai Jagannath by a sea of devotees as chariot pulling commenced after completion of rituals including Pahandi and Chhera Panhara (sweeping of chariots) by Puri Gajapati Dibya Singha Deb. 

Puri Shankaracharya of Govardhan Peeth Swami Nischalananda Saraswati visited the three chariots.

The three colossal chariots of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Devi Subhadra have rolled out of the 12th-century Jagannath Temple towards the Gundicha Temple.

Tight security arrangements were put in place, with barricades and designated safe zones for devotees to pull the chariots. Over 275 AI-enabled CCTV cameras have been installed across Puri for surveillance.

A total of 205 platoons of police force were deployed for the world famous festival.
