Hera Panchami is a unique celebration that is observed on the fifth day of Rath Yatra. During the holy Ratha Jatra, Mahapravu Shree Jagannath comes out of Srimandira, His abode in Puri, with His brother Bada Thakura Balabhadra and sister Maa Subhadra along with His divine weapon Pravu Sri Sudarshana for a nine-day sojourn to the Gundicha temple, leaving behind his wife Maa Mahalaxmi at the Sri Mandira.
Legend has it that to vent out her anger on Mahapravu for being left behind, His consort Maa Mahalaxmi leaves for Gundicha temple in a palanquin on the fifth day and asks Mahapravu to return back soon. To make Her pleased, the Mahapravu concedes to Her by offering her agyan mala (a garland of consent). However the servitors of Mahapravu close the main door of the Gundicha temple seeing the Maa Mahalaxmi furious.
Insulted by the development, Maa Mahalaxmi returns to the main temple through the Nakachana gate. In a unique ritual, the Maa orders one of her attendants to damage a part of the Nandighosa chariot. After some time, she escapes to her home temple in secrecy, through a separate path way known as Hera Gouri lane.
