Bahuda Jatra Koraput
69 photos

Sarat Chandra Sahu , OIC of the town police station at Koraput was the Uncle of Lord Jagannath , Balabhadra and Subhadra , even though for a single day today .As a matter of tradition of the Bahuda Jatra at Koraput , OIC of the town police station gets the rare opportunity to serve the three Lords as their uncle every year during their return journey from Sri Gundicha temple to the main temple.
While this was an example of participation of the district administration and more specifically of the police in the festivals and traditions of the public , the tenure of any policeman as the OIC at Koraput remains memorable for this very reason , Mr.Sahu said. The police couple observed fasting for the day before offering new clothes and fruits apart from various sweets on behalf of the people of the region before the Gods on the chariot .
The offering after being served on the chariot was distributed among the people . The joy of getting pieces of sweets and fruits that were offered on the chariot by pulling from each other’s hands gives more pleasure and adds special memories to remember Bahuda Jatra at Sabara Srikhetra,Bidyadhar Choudhury , a local resident said.Adding one more specialty to this year’s Bahuda Jatra at Koraput , Gangadhar Nanda , eminent historian and writer from Jeypore donated scores of rare books and a life size photograph of Vikram Dev Verma , Maharaja of Jeypore kingdom to the temple library which was received by Krushna Chandra Panigrahy , Secretary of the temple in front of the chariot .
