The Jagannath Rath Yatra of Puri, also known as the Ratha Jatra, is the oldest and largest Hindu chariot festival. It is celebrated annually according to the Hindu Lunar Calendar on Dwitya Tithi (second day) of Shukla Paksha in the month of Ashadh in Puri, in the Indian state of Odisha. This year, it falls on July 7, 2024. The festival honours the deity Jagannath, a form of Vishnu. Lord Jagannath is worshipped in the famous Jagannath Temple in Puri and is revered as a form of Lord Vishnu by followers of Vaishnavism. During the event, three deities, Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra, and sister Subhadra, are taken in large wooden chariots to the Gundicha Temple, where they stay for a week before returning back to the Jagannath Temple. This return journey is called the Bahuda Yatra. As we gear up for Jagannath Rath Yatra 2024, here we bring Rath Yatra wishes and HD images for free download online.
