During the Rath Yatra festival in Puri, Lord Jagannath and his sibling deities were ceremonially moved to the Gundicha Temple, their birthplace, where they will remain until the return procession on July 24.

Concurrently, a special inventory of the temple treasury's ornaments was conducted following government-approved procedures, ensuring documentation and expert verification during the deities' absence.
