Ratha Yatra (temple chariot procession) of Jaggannath of Surangigada🔗

Why is the chariot at the Surangi Jagannath temple pulled a day late, and not on the same day as the Puri Jaganath temple? The locals say that the then Maharaja of Surangi ruled the precedent for the chariot to be pulled the next day as the entire village would travel to the neighbouring village of Jarada to help them pull their chariot to begin the festivities.

Maharaja Chandra Chudamani Harischandra Jagdev (1876-1931) shifted Palace from Surangi Garh to Ichhapuram
