हेरा पंचमी — म्हत्व
When Lord Jagannath set out on the Rath Yatra to visit His aunt at Gundicha, He did not inform His consort Goddess Mahalakshmi. After three days of separation, the goddess grows displeased and decides to seek Him out. On Hera Panchami ("hera" means "to search" in Odia), Her vimana (palanquin) is taken in procession from the main Jagannath Temple to the Gundicha Temple. There, in a symbolic confrontation, Her sevayats ritually break a wooden piece of Jagannath's Nandighosha chariot — a symbolic damaging of His vehicle in protest. The goddess then returns to the main temple alone, sulking. Jagannath only returns on Bahuda Yatra (Day 10) and finally re-enters the sanctum on Niladri Bije (Day 13).
