Abstract
Realisation of soul is the real crown and glory of life. Its glow enhances epistemological vision of humankind, enables him to surmount mundane m elancholia and widens the prospect of liberation. This aspiration is well demonstrated in the campus of Lord Jagannath at Puri. In the name of ritualistic celebrations Jagannath consciousness inspires spirituality and encourages the enlightenment of ‘self’. Of all the great festivals associated with the cult of Lord Jagannath, the celebration of the Car festival is both important and interesting for its explicit synonymy with Indian philosophy and spirituality
