Rath Yatra is celebrated on the second day of the bright fortnight in the Hindu lunar month of Ashadha, which usually falls in June or July. This year it will be observed on Tuesday, June 20. This festival marks the annual journey of Lord Jagannath and his siblings from the Jagannath Temple in Puri to the Gundicha Temple, located around 3 km away. The journey is carried out on grandly decorated chariots.

The preparations for Rath Yatra begin weeks in advance. The main attraction of the festival is the massive chariots, which are constructed anew each year. The chariots are made of wood and are intricately carved and painted. The chariot of Lord Jagannath, called Nandighosa, is the largest and is accompanied by the chariots of Lord Balabhadra (Taladhwaja) and Devi Subhadra (Darpadalan).

On the day of the Rath Yatra, thousands of devotees gather in Puri to witness and participate in the procession. The deities are ceremoniously brought out of the Jagannath Temple and placed on their respective chariots. The chariots are then pulled by ropes, with devotees enthusiastically participating in the procession. The journey to the Gundicha Temple takes several hours, as people sing devotional songs and dance joyfully.

The procession is a vibrant and joyous affair, with devotees thronging the streets to catch a glimpse of the deities and seek their blessings. People offer prayers and make offerings to Lord Jagannath during the journey. Upon reaching the Gundicha Temple, the deities stay there for a week, and various rituals and festivities are held. After the week-long stay, the deities make their return journey to the Jagannath Temple in a procession called Bahuda Yatra. It follows a similar pattern to Rath Yatra but in reverse, with the deities returning to their respective abode in the temple.
