Spiritual Leaders Praise Equality in Jagannath’s Bahuda Yatra

Sant Baba Bhairabhananda Saraswati highlighted the unique aspect of the Bahuda Yatra: the deities ordinarily remain inside the temple all year, but once a year they step out on a chariot, granting a view to people of every caste, creed and region. He recounted his personal involvement since 1996, describing the specially crafted 12‑foot incense sticks offered to the Lord, and emphasized the spiritual calm these offerings bring to worshippers.
