some like to cook , some take up a book
some smile , some shed a drop of pain
everyone has a story.. when it rains
a thousand thoughts crossed my sight
I felt I can trust the crying night.

RATHA YATRA, the Festival of Chariots: Chariots of Shri
Jagannath is celebrated every year at Puri, the temple town in Odisha, on the
second (dwitiya) day of shukla pakhya (waxing cycle of moon) of Āshādha Māsa
(3rd month of Odia calendar). The presiding deities of the Jagannath Temple,
Puri's main temple, Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadr, with
the celestial wheel- Sudarshana Chakra (ସୁଦର୍ଶନ
ଚକ୍ର) are removed
from the temple in a ceremonial procession to their chariots. The huge,
colourfully decorated chariots are drawn by multitude of devotees on the bada
danda, the grand avenue to the Gundicha Temple (Gundicha– King Indradyumna's
Queen), two miles away to the North. On the way the chariot of Lord Jagannatha,
Nandighosa (ନନ୍ଦିଘୋଷ)
waits near the crematorium of Bhakta Salabega (ଭକ୍ତ
ସାଲବେଗ), a Muslim
devout to pay him tribute.
On their way back from the Gundicha Temple, the three deities stop for a while near the Mausi Maa Temple (Aunt's abode) and have an offering of the Poda Pitha, which is a special type of pancake supposed to be the Lord's favourite. After a stay for seven days, the deities return to their abode.
