Jagannath Puri Rath Yatra 2024 Day 1 || Puri Rath yatra 2024 || Odisha

Puri Rath Yatra 2024


This festival is known as Ratha Yatra, meaning the journey (yatra) of the chariots (ratha).

All the three chariots are made of wood and decorated by local artists. Lord Jagannath’s chariot is the biggest of the three having 16 massive wheels and a height of 44 feet. While Lord Balabhadra’s chariot has 14 wheels and a height of 43 feet followed by Goddess Subhadra’s chariot having 12 wheels and a height of 42 feet. They are pulled manually by 50-metre long ropes, people rush to help pull the chariots as they believe that pulling the chariot earns them good deeds and penance for their errors. In Puri Rath Yatra, Lord Balaram’s chariot is pulled first then Goddess Subhadra’s followed by Lord Jagannath’s.

Each of the chariots has its own name. While Lord Jagannath's chariot is called Nandighosh, Lord Balabhadra, and Devi Subhadra's chariots are named Taladhwaja and Darpadalana respectively.

It is believed that Rath Yatra is the only occasion of the year when Jagannath, Lord of the Universe, comes out of the temple for his devotee.

Jay Jagannath 🙏
