A large number of devotees pulled the chariot chanting the name of Lord Govinda. According to the priests, human body is like a chariot, soul is the owner, wisdom is the driver, mind is the reins, senses are the horses, and the rest everything is compared to the streets. In this way, they explained the philosophy in the chariot festival by saying that the physical body is different from the subtle body, as well as the soul.
