What is the chariot of Jagannath Puri called?

The chariot of Jagannath Puri, used during the annual Ratha Yatra festival, is called Nandighosa. Each year, three magnificent chariots are constructed for the deities Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra. The chariot of Lord Jagannath, known as Nandighosa, is the largest and most elaborate of the three, adorned with vibrant colors, intricate carvings, and sacred symbols.

The Ratha Yatra, or Chariot Festival, is a grand event where these chariots are pulled by thousands of devotees from the Jagannath Temple to the Gundicha Temple, symbolizing Lord Jagannath’s journey to his birthplace. This festival is celebrated with immense devotion and enthusiasm, drawing millions of participants and spectators.
