About The Rath Yatra chariots

Rata Jatra, the Festival of Chariots of Lord Jagannad is celebrated every year at Puri, the temple town in Orissa, on the east coast of India on the second day of shukla pakshya of Ashadh Maas. The presiding deities of the main temple, Lord Jagannada, Lord Balarama and Goddess Subhadra, with the celestial wheel Sudarshana are taken out from the temple precincts in an elaborate ritual procession to their respective chariots. The huge, colourfully decorated chariots, are drawn by hundreds and thousands of devotees on the bada danda, the grand avenue to the Gundicha temple, some two miles away to the North.

After a stay for seven days, the deities return to their abode. many shown on streets like brahahin.
