Also, called the Chariot festival, this festival commemorates Lord Jagannatha&#8217;s annual visit to the centuries-old Gundicha Mata temple built by the ardent devotee Gundicha Maharani, queen of King Indradyumna who was the founder of the 1st Jagannatha Temple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The temple\u2019s distinctive Kalinga style architecture is a marvel to behold and has artistic grey sandstone carvings all over it. Devotees believe that Lord Jagannatha along with brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra Devi leave the main Jagannatha temple for nine days every year \u2013 one day to travel to the temple, seven days to reside at the Gundicha Mata temple and the last day for returning to the main temple which is also known as the Bahuda Yatra or Return Yatra on the Dashami Tithi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year three chariots of different sizes and ornate designs are used to carry the three deities through the western gate of the Gundicha Mata temple which is also known as the \u2018Garden house of Lord Jagannatha\u2019 as it is located in the middle of a lush green garden with tall coconut trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deities are then placed on a plain raised throne inside the temple called &#8216;Ratnavedi&#8217; and worshipped with pomp and glory. Known as the Adapa Darshana, paying homage to the Lord during the Ratha Yatra is believed to be most auspicious in Hinduism. On his return, the Yatra leaves the temple from the eastern gate and also stops at Mausi Maa Temple dedicated to Goddess Ardhashini.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Why Use Agarbatti to Enhance Your Devotion During the Ratha Yatra?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The right agarbatti aroma creates a perfectly fragrant ambience to fuel a deep devotion to Lord Jagannatha. It calms your mind, infuses positive thoughts and amplifies your spiritual being during the religious rites and rituals, promoting oneness with the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>3 Best Agarbatti Fragrances to Invoke the Lord\u2019s Blessings!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>1.
