(JHULANA YATRA)

Jhulana Yatra is the Swinging festival of Lord Jagannath. The protege of Lord Jagannath is placed in gorgeously decorated swing in a relaxing posture and swung to the accompaniment of music and dance.

This Festival is scrupulously observed in the temple of Lord Jagannath and other Mathas in Puri, for a week, preceding the Sravana purnima, which falls in August everyyear. The full moon day that falls in the month of Sravana marks the end of the festival.
