Lord Jagannath At Mahesh

Yesterday, on the auspicious day of Rath-Yatra, I visited the 600
year's temple of Lord Jagannath at Mahesh. When I entered in the
premises of said temple, the devotees were engaged there to worship
Lord Jagannath, along with Subhadra and Balaram. It was around 2 pm.
After the rituals, the idols were taken to the 3-storied Rath standing
outside on the road around 3:30 pm.
