Braving incessant rains, thousands of devotees on Sunday thronged the holy town of Puri to witness Bahuda Yatra, the return journey of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, Lord Sudarshan and Devi Subhadra.

Amid the beating of gongs, cymbals, blowing of conch shells and 'Hari Bol' chantings, the deities were brought out of the Gundicha temple and taken in chariots thorough a procession Pahandi.
