An artist paints a part of the chariot ahead of the Rath Yatra. While new chariots are made every year, the wooden horses and charioteers for each rath and the smaller deities that adorn the chariots, are made once in approximately 12 years, when the wooden idols of Jagannath and his siblings that are worshipped in the temple are replaced. That ritual – referred to as Navakalebara or new-body ceremony – was last celebrated in 2015.
