Rath Yatra-Festival of India-How is Rath Yatra Celebration-Image-Greetings

                                     

The exuberant Rath Yatra festival sees Lord Jagannath, along with his elder brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra, venture out of their abode in the Jagannath temple. The three of them travel to their aunt’s Gundicha Temple a short distance away, where they remain for seven days before returning.    

The gods are transported on towering chariots, which have been made to resemble temples, giving the festival its name of Rath Yatra — the Chariot Festival. Around one million pilgrims flock to this colorful event.
