Over 20,000 people witnessed the Return Car Festival (Bahuda Yatra) of Lord jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, Goddess Subhadra at Sukinda on Saturday.
Upholding the tradition of nearly 150 years, the endowment officials along with devotees pulled the chariot to a little distance to mark the start of the festival on Friday. And the festival was fully conducted on Saturday.
The same traditional practice was also followed on the Rath Yatra day on June 21.
Local ‘King’ Bhudev Bhupati Harichandan Mohapatra performed the ceremonial chariot sweeping on both the occasions. Unlike many other places, both Hindus and Muslims participated on the occasions. Finance Minister Prafulla Chandra Ghadai also witnessed the rare festival of brotherhood.
The festival was successfully conducted under the direct supervision of Rathayatra Managing Committee president and Sukinda Tehsildar Manas Ranjan Mohanty.
