Shri Jagannathji, Balabhadraji, and Subhadraji are worshiped in the temple of Jagannath Puri. The present temple was built by King Chodagan Dev in the 12th century. The architecture of the temple is in Kalinga style. During the Rath Yatra, Shri Jagannathji, Balabhadraji, and Subhadraji sit in separate chariots and go to their aunt's house, the Gundicha temple, three kilometers away from the Puri temple. After staying there for 8 days, they come back to the Puri temple.

It is important to note that the Jagannath Puri Rath Yatra starts each year on Dwitiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Ashadh month and ends after 8 days on Dashami Tithi with the return of Shri Jagannathji, Balabhadraji, and Subhadraji.
