What it is
The chariot festival of Lord Jagannath, on the second day of Ashadha's bright half. Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra are drawn through the streets of Puri on great wooden chariots.
Why it matters
Jagannath, with Balabhadra and Subhadra, leaves the temple on giant chariots to visit his aunt's temple — a festival where the deity comes out to meet everyone.
How it is traditionally kept
Devotees pull the chariots or join processions in their own cities; temples hold special worship.
- Join or watch the chariot procession
- Pull the chariot ropes, considered a great blessing
- Sing bhajans and chant Jagannath's name
- Share mahaprasad
Across India
Most famous in Puri, Odisha; ISKCON holds Rath Yatras in cities across India and the world.
