With the conclusion of the rituals, the holy trinity -Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Devi Subhadra- returned to the Srimandir.
Accompanied by music and chants, the deities were brought back to the 12th century shrine from their respective chariots one after the other in a ceremonial Pahandi procession.
But, as per the tradition, Goddess Lakshmi prevented Lord Jagannath’s entry as she was upset at being left behind. However, in a playful exchange he appeased her with Rasagolas and was allowed to enter the temple.
