Rath Yatra 2011
Rath Yatra in Puri
When: 3rd July 2011
Where: Puri, Orissa
If you've ever wondered what a juggernaut actually looks like, this is where you can see it- in the great annual rath yatra (often referred to, rather prosaically, as the (Car Festival) of Lord Jagannath in Orissa. The venue for the festival is the town of Puri, famed for its temple to Lord Jagannath, as Krishna is known in this part of the country. The festival commemorates the journey of Krishna from Gokul to Mathura.
For the rath yatra, three huge chariots - each with about a dozen wheels up to 7 feet in diameter - are ritually pulled through the streets, from the Jagannath temple to the temple of Gundicha Mandir. The raths are replicas of the Jagannath temple and each of them carries an idol - of Jagannath, of his brother Balbhadra and his sister Subhadra - to Gundicha Mandir, where they stay for a week before being taken back, again in the raths, to the Jagannath Temple.
Puri, situated on the eastern coast of Orissa, has immense historic and religious significance. It boasts of a moderate climate throughout the year with scenic beauty. It is known globally for its Jagannath and Konark temples, Chilika lake – one of the world’s largest brackish lakes and a home for migratory birds.
Orissa is famous for its Rath Yatra in Puri, held every year. This festival is held to commemorate Lord Jagannath, who is said to have been the incarnation of India's revered deities, Lord Vishnu and Lord Krishna.
