Legend and Significance of Rath Yatra

According to Hindu mythology, Lord Jagannath is considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The legend behind Rath Yatra dates back thousands of years when Lord Krishna’s elder brother, Balarama, expressed his desire to visit his aunt’s temple in Gundicha. In response to his wish, Lord Krishna arranged for a grand procession, pulling their chariots from the main temple to Gundicha temple. This event marked the beginning of Rath Yatra.

The significance of Rath Yatra lies in its representation of unity and equality. The chariots used in the procession are made without any distinction of caste, creed, or religion. This festival brings people from all walks of life together, fostering a sense of harmony and devotion.

Preparations of Rath Yatra Festival

Months before Rath Yatra, meticulous preparations take place in Puri. Skilled artisans craft the chariots with precision and dedication. Each chariot has a distinct name and is constructed using specific types of wood. The chariot of Lord Jagannath, known as Nandighosa, stands at an impressive height of 45 feet and has 16 wheels. The chariot of Lord Balabhadra, named Taladhwaja, has 14 wheels, while Devi Subhadra’s chariot, known as Darpadalana, has 12 wheels.

The chariots are adorned with vibrant fabrics, intricate designs, and colorful paintings. Artists spend days beautifying the chariots, ensuring they reflect the grandeur and divinity of the deities. Devotees eagerly participate in these preparations, offering their services as a mark of their devotion.

Procession of Rath Yatra Festival

On the day of Rath Yatra, the city of Puri comes alive with an atmosphere of fervor and excitement. Millions of devotees gather to witness the grand procession and seek blessings from the deities. The procession begins with a series of rituals performed by the priests at the main temple.

Amidst the chanting of hymns and the beating of drums, the deities are brought out of the temple and placed in their respective chariots. The chariots are then pulled by thousands of devotees through the streets of Puri. The sight of devotees pulling the chariots with ropes is awe-inspiring, symbolizing their devotion and willingness to serve the Lord.

The procession covers a distance of approximately three kilometers, with devotees thronging the streets to catch a glimpse of the deities. The air is filled with religious fervor as people sing devotional songs and offer prayers. It is believed that even a glimpse of the deities during Rath Yatra can cleanse one’s soul and bestow blessings.
