Ratha Yatra, or the Festival of Chariots, is one of the most iconic and spiritually charged events in the Hindu calendar, particularly associated with the sacred city of Puri in Odisha. Celebrated during the bright fortnight of Ashadha (June-July), this grand occasion honours Lord Jagannath, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, along with his siblings Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra. Jagannath Rath Yatra 2025 starts on June 27. Unlike most temple deities, who remain hidden in sanctum sanctorums, the Jagannath trio is ceremoniously brought out once a year, placed in majestic wooden chariots, and paraded through the streets for all to behold and worship. To celebrate Puri's chariot festival, we bring you Happy Jagannath Rath Yatra 2025 greetings, Odisha Rath Yatra messages, quotes and WhatsApp wishes that you can share with Rath photos, images and HD wallpapers of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra.

These vibrant chariots towering and intricately carved are pulled by thousands of devotees using long ropes in a display of devotion and humility. The journey takes the deities from the Jagannath Temple to Gundicha Temple, which is believed to be the home of their aunt, where they stay for a few days before returning. The chariot procession is a spectacle of faith and joy, with music, dancing, chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra, and people offering prayers and flowers along the path. The pulling of the chariots is considered deeply auspicious, believed to cleanse sins and bring divine grace to the devotees. As you observe Rath Yatra 2025, share these Happy Jagannath Rath Yatra 2025 greetings, Odisha Rath Yatra messages, quotes and WhatsApp wishes.
