DESCRIPTION:

Lord Jagarnatha, for which this day is named, is an incarnations of Lord Krishna.

Rath Yatra is a colorful festival in Odisha India. Each year during the monsoon season, the images of Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra, the deities enshrined in the Jagannath Temple at Puri, are carried in colorful processions at twilight for 21 days.

People gather at Puri in Odisha to pull the Rath or Cart of Lord Jagarnatha to get his blessing. He comes out of his sanctum to give darshan to all devotees belonging to all sects and communities.

Hindus believe that those who take part in this festival earn their passage to heaven.

The chariots used in the rituals are made anew each year in accordance with strict and ancient specifications and are pulled by several thousand devotees at a time.

PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian Civil Calendar, which is the official holiday calendar in India, the largest Hindu nation. The Hindu faith has many calendars, each specific to different regions and tribes with dates and celebrations marked by differing positions of the sun, moon and stars. Names of months and holidays, as well as the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar, vary widely from one calendar to the next. Use our dates as a baseline. Find out which of the dozens of Hindu calendars is used in the region you live or plan to visit if you are looking to attend or witness a specific observance.
