Car Festival Poem by Nanda Kishore

Car Festival is sacred in universe, which is written in ancient verse; Second day in Asadha bright fortnight, To pull the rope amidst crowd I fight.

Non-hindus and foreigners can't enter, hence, with sibling you yourself appear; you visit yearly your aunt's house, In Shree Mandir, you left thy spouse.

O lord! you are out of the shrine, with Balia and Subhadra you reign; 'jay Jagannath' the devotees hail On Badadanda when you travel.

Thou glisten on Nandighosa chariot, thine glimpse was beyond my thought; plea you God on this auspicious eve, unlimited sins of mortals, you'll forgive.
