The huge procession accompanying the chariots provide loud music, playing of drums, tambourine and tumultuous activities. Children line up the street through which the chariot passes and add to the mass chorus. Temporary stalls of food, toys, Ferris wheels and other attractions are available. The deities are unusual. They are unfinished.
Hands are short and their lower parts are incomplete.
The legend associated with the unusual appearance of the deities may interest you. Orissa was formerly known as Utkal. Long long ago there was a king, called Indradyumna who ruled over Utkal. He had a long cherished desire to build a temple but debated in his mind about the deity. One day he dreamt that there is a blue-colored Krishna, called Neelmadhab located in a cave of Nilachal Hill.
