Sri Jagannath
Rathayatra

A Timeless Tradition Celebrating Culture and Community

​

Sri Jagannath Rathayatra is one of India’s oldest and most iconic chariot festivals, deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of Odisha. It marks the symbolic annual journey of three revered deities—Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra—from the historic Jagannath Temple in Puri to the Gundicha Temple.

 

More than a spiritual procession, Rath Yatra represents movement, inclusion, and the coming together of people from all walks of life in a grand celebration of tradition, unity, and shared joy. Today, it is observed in cities across the world as a vibrant expression of Indian culture and community spirit.
