The Rath Yatra at Puri was once first carried out with two chariots units (3 plus 3). As there was once a river flowing between Srimandir and Gundicha (Mausi Maa) temple, the first set of chariots was used to carry the deities until the river.

Mythology says that as soon as king Indradimna- ruler of Puri, had a dream and without delay, he observed the dream's guidelines.
