Lord Jagannath (Krishna), along with siblings Balabhadra and Subhadra, travels from the main temple to Gundicha temple in Puri. The yatra symbolizes Krishna's journey from Gokul to Mathura, giving all devotees – regardless of caste – a chance for darshan.
How to Observe
Massive chariot processions through the streets of Puri. Devotees pull three enormous wooden chariots (rathas). The English word "juggernaut" derives from this festival. Similar yatras held in cities worldwide.
Significance
One of India's grandest festivals, symbolizing equality before God – Lord Jagannath leaves the sanctum so everyone can have darshan. Even pulling the chariot rope for a moment is considered highly meritorious.
