Puri Rath Yatra : During the Rath Yatra (Car festival), the three deities of Jagannath, Balbhadra and Subhadra with Sudarshan are brought out of the main temple and taken to Gundicha temple for a week's visit in three beautifully decorated chariots. After the deities are installed on their respective chariots, the traditional king of Puri sweeps the chariots with a golden broom, which is known as Chhera Pahanra. The Chariots are pulled by thousands of devotees to Gundicha temple, 3 km away. Devotees stay in the temple for a week and on Ashadha Shukla Dashmi (June - July), the return journey of the deities starts from Gundicha temple to the main temple.
