Saty Narayan Ji Mandir, Nabha
The Jagannath triad are usually worshiped in the sanctum of the temple at Puri, but Shri Saty Narayan Ji Mandir Commi tee once during the year (usually falling in month of August or September), they are brought Jagannath out onto the Devi Chowk (main street of Nabha) and travel to the Shri Saty Narayan Ji, Temple in huge chariot (ratha), allowing the public to have darśana (Holy view). This festival is known as Ratha Yatra, meaning the journey (yatra) of the chariot (ratha). The Ratha is huge wheeled wooden structure, which is built anew every year and are pulled by the devotees. The chariot for Jagannath is approximately 20 feet high and 15 feet square and takes about 1 week to construct. The Committee Members, artists and painters of Nabha, Dhuri decorate the car and paint flower petals and other designs on the wheels, the wood-carved charioteer and horses, and the inverted lotuses on the wall behind the throne. The huge chariot of Jagannath pulled during Rath Yatra is the etymological origin of the English word Juggernaut. The Ratha-Yatra is also termed as the Shri Gundicha yatra.
The most significant ritual associated with the Ratha-Yatra is the "chhera pahara." During the festival, people wears the outfit of a sweeper and sweeps all around the deities and chariot in the "Chera Pahara" (sweeping with water) ritual. King cleanses the road before the chariots with a gold-handled broom and sprinkles sandalwood water and powder with utmost devotion. As per the custom, although the King has been considered the most exalted person in the kingdom, he still renders the menial service to Jagannath. This ritual signified that under the lordship of Jagannath, there is no distinction between the powerful sovereign King and the most humble devotee.
"Jagannath Katha" is held on Seven days before, on the first day of the Ratha Yatra, the last day of the festival, when the deities are ceremoniously brought back to the Shri Mandir.
