Bahuda Yatra 2023 Date

 The date of the Bahuda Yatra varies each year as it is based on the Hindu lunar calendar. Bahuda Yatra 2023 date in Odisha is June 28 (Wednesday) as per Odia calendar. Bahuda Yatra, Return Car Festival, or Ulta Ratha time are given below.

  

The great holy Bahuda Yatra takes place on the tenth day of the lunar month of Ashadha. On this day Shri Jagannatha, Maa Subhadra, and Bada Thakur Balabhadra Mahaprabhu ride in three chariots and come from the Gundicha temple to the Shree Mandira. The yatra on this holy day is called the Bahuda yatra. Since the Rath Yatra was held, the three chariots have been facing north in the same way as the Gundicha temple. The chariots are turned south on the eighth day before the Bahuda Yatra and prepared for the Bahuda Yatra. All policies, rules, and regulations are determined by the Puri temple administration. Preparations are underway for three Jiu's departures through Nakachana Gate. The Sharadhabali in front of the Nakachana Gate is cleaned and made for Bahuda Yatra. This is called the southward journey as the chariot takes a southward turn in this Bahuda journey.

   On the ninth day, devotees consider three Jiu's evening darshan to be very sacred and auspicious. The ninth day is the last day of three Jius at Mausi Maa Temple. The evening of the ninth day is celebrated with the gathering of many devotees. Prior to the Bahuda yatra, three Jiu's puja were held in accordance with all the rules and regulations. Crowds of devotees occur at the Gundicha temple once in a year. After the Bahuda yatra, the Gundicha temple becomes purposeless again. Ninth days from the chariot ride, the Avada is being prepared for three jius at the Gundicha temple. First the chariot of the Bada Thakur Balabhadra, Taladhwaj begins its journey from the Gundicha temple to the Shri Mandir. Then begins the journey of Maa Subhadra’s chariot, Darpadalan and at last behind them Kalia Saanta rides in his Nandighosa chariot and starts his journey. The Lakshmi-Narayan meeting puja is held when the Nandighosa chariot reaches the Shri Mandir. Lord Jagannath calms the anger of Mother Lakshmi. This symbolizes the love, affection, and attachment between husband and wife.
