The Rath Yatra is one of the biggest religious events in India. It involves a grand procession in which the idols of Lord Jagannath, his brother Lord Balabhadra, and sister Goddess Subhadra are taken from the Jagannath Temple to the Gundicha Temple. The deities stay there for a week before returning to the main temple.

During this time, the streets of Puri are filled with chants, rituals, and the colours of devotion. The atmosphere is full of spiritual energy and joy.

Odisha’s Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi welcomed all the devotees and encouraged them to take part in the Yatra with full faith. “Join the Rath Yatra with devotion, witness the divine presence of Mahaprabhu atop the chariot, and receive his blessings,” he said.
