JagannathĀ Ratha Yatra, also known as the Chariot Festival, is a grand annual procession held in Puri, Odisha, and dedicated to Lord Jagannath, a form of Lord Krishna. Celebrated on the Dwitiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Ashadha (June-July), it marks the only time in the year when the deities, Lord Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra, and sister Subhadra emerge from their temple to bless devotees in a massive public celebration. Jagannath Rath Yatra 2025 starts on June 27. The trio is placed on elaborately decorated chariots and pulled by thousands of devotees to Gundicha Temple, about 3 km away, where they stay for nine days before returning to the Jagannath Temple.

The massive wooden chariots, specially constructed each year, are a highlight of the festival. Lord Jagannathā€™s chariot is called Nandighosha, Balabhadraā€™s is Taladhwaja, and Subhadraā€™s is Darpadalana. The pulling of these chariots by hand is seen as an act of great merit, and people from across India and the world participate in the ritual, chanting bhajans and singing kirtans. The festival is a beautiful expression of unity, equality, and devotion, as people from all walks of life irrespective of caste, religion, or background, come together in celebration.

Ratha Yatra symbolises divine outreach, where the deities step out of the temple sanctum to meet their devotees. It also represents the eternal journey of life, the cyclical nature of creation, and the soul's movement toward the divine. Apart from Puri, Ratha Yatra is also celebrated in cities across India and globally by ISKCON and other Krishna-devotee groups. The festival is not just a religious ritual but a deeply spiritual and cultural phenomenon, embodying joy, surrender, and the divine bond between God and devotees.
