In the Rath Yatra of Shri Jagannath ji, Lord Shri Krishna is not accompanied by Radha or Rukmini, but Balarama and Subhadra are there. His story is popular like this - One night while sleeping in Dwarka, Shri Krishna, Rukmini etc., suddenly spoke Radhe-Radhe in his sleep. The queens were surprised. On waking up, Shri Krishna did not let his mood manifest, but Rukmini talked to other queens that, I hear there is a gopakumari named Radha in Vrindavan, whom the Lord has not forgotten even after so much devotion to all of us. Mother Rohini knew very well about Radha's mystic Raas Leelas with Shri Krishna. All the queens pleaded to get information from him. At first, Mata Rohini tried to avoid it, but on the stubbornness of the queens, she said, okay. Listen, first put Subhadra on the guard, no one can come in, even if it is Balarama or Sri Krishna.
As soon as Mata Rohini started the story, Shri Krishna and Balaram suddenly appeared towards Antarpur. Subhadra stopped him at the door after giving a valid reason.

It is said that King Indradyumna, who lived near Nilanchal Sagar (Orissa) with his family, saw a giant wood in the sea. Vishwakarma himself appeared in the form of an old carpenter as soon as the king decided to get Vishnu idol built from him. He put a condition for making the idol that no one should come in the house where I will make the idol till
the idol till the idol is fully formed. The king accepted it. They started making idols inside a house near the place where Shri Jagannath ji's temple is today. The king's family members did not know who the old carpenter was. After the door of the house was closed for several days, the queen wondered how she would be able to work as a carpenter without eating or drinking. By now he would be alive or dead. The Maharani made the Maharaja aware of her instinctive doubts. The old carpenter was nowhere to be found when the Maharaja opened the doors, but Shri Jagannath, half-built by him,
The Maharaja and the Maharani became sad. But at that very moment both of them heard Akashvani, 'Don't be sad in vain, we want to remain in this form, get the idols sanctified with material etc.' Even today those incomplete and obscure idols are adorned and revered in Purushottam Puri's Rath Yatra and temple. For the purpose of fulfilling the desire of Mata Subhadra to visit Dwarka, Shri Krishna and Balarama had got them done by sitting in separate chariots. In the memory of Mata Subhadra's city tour, this Rath Yatra is held every year in Puri.

At the time of Rath Yatra, the chariot is operated by a soul-rich body, which is a symbol of the journey of life. Although there is a soul in the body, it does not operate by itself. Rather, that Maya operates. Similarly, even when Lord Jagannath is seated, the chariot itself does not move, but the power of the people is needed to pull it.
