DESCRIPTION:

Lord Jagannath, the day's namesake, is an incarnation 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 participating in this festival earn their passage to heaven.

The chariots used in the rituals are recreated annually per strict and ancient specifications and are pulled by several thousand devotees at a time.

PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian civil calendar, the official holiday calendar in India. 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 and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
