Nabakalebara festival

Nabakalebara festival is an ancient ritual associated with most of the Jagannath Temples when the Idols of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, Subhadra and Sudarshan are replaced by a new set of Idols. This year, the state government has made it mandatory for all departments to promote Nabakalebara logo and banner on their official portals. The government has also urged Google to create a Google Doodle of Nabakalebara’s Rath Yatra on July 18. A Google Doodle is a special and temporary alteration of the logo on Google`s homepage that is intended to celebrate holidays, events, achievements and people.
