Book your Ratha Yatra tour package with Holiday Hopp and experience the Devine and cultural heritage of Puri. Rath Yatra, also known as Ratha Jatra, is a Hindu chariot festival celebrated annually in the city of Puri, Odisha, India ¹. The festival is held on the bright half of the lunar month of Ashadh (June–July) and is associated with the deity Jagannath (a form of Vishnu or Krishna) ¹. During the festival, three deities (Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra, and sister Subhadra) are drawn by a multitude of devotees in three massive, wooden chariots on the “bada danda” (the grand avenue) to Gundicha Temple, where they reside for a week and then return to the Jagannath temple ¹. This return trip is referred to as the Bahuda Yatra ¹.

The Chariots

The three chariots of Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra are newly constructed every year with wood of specified trees like phassi, dhausa, etc. ¹. The chariots are decorated as per the unique scheme prescribed and followed for centuries and stand on the Bada Danda, the Grand Avenue ¹. The chariots are lined across the wide avenue in front of the temple close to its eastern entrance, which is also known as the Sinhadwara or the Lion’s Gate ¹. Around each of the chariots are nine Parsva devatas, painted wooden images representing different deities on the chariots’ sides ¹. Each chariot has a charioteer (Sarathi) and four horses ¹.
