Jagannath Pahandi Bije Tarash

Jagannath Pahandi Bije Tarash is a colourful ceremonial fan inspired by the Pahandi procession of Mahaprabhu Shri Jagannath.

A long painted wooden pole completes this traditional festival accessory.

Traditional Floral Tarash Design

The Pahandi Bije Tarash features a large red ornamental surface with a blue circular centre. Around it, petal-shaped patterns create a floral formation outlined by decorative trim. Smaller blue circles sit inside the petals, adding rhythm and contrast to the bright red panel. A sequence of narrow silver-coloured lines and triangular motifs traces the pointed shape.

Along the outside, gathered yellow and green fabric creates a raised, festive border. The bright ruffles enhance the silhouette when the Tarash is displayed upright. Its pointed top and symmetrical floral arrangement give it a recognisable ceremonial appearance from the front.

Painted Wooden Handle

The panel is mounted on a long wooden pole, painted in distinct red, yellow and black sections. This handle supports the decorative fabric and allows the piece to be positioned as part of a traditional procession-themed display. The strong contrast between the colourful panel and the straight pole brings balance to the design.

For Pahandi-Inspired Seva

In the Jagannath tradition, Pahandi is associated with the ceremonial movement of the deities during Ratha Yatra. The Jagannath Pahandi Bije Tarash recalls the colourful honours and decorations used during these celebrations. It can accompany a festival display, a ceremonial procession arrangement or a dedicated Jagannath devotional setting.

Keep the fabric and painted handle clean and dry, and support the pole securely during display. Browse Jagannath festival and puja accessories at JustKalinga.
