"The colossal grandeur of the festival exemplifies not only the vibrant culture of Odisha but also the immense faith and devotion of millions of Hindus worldwide towards the Holy Trinity: Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhdra."
This year, the Rath Yatra is expected to be even more spectacular, as the festival has gained significance among people of all faiths worldwide. The rituals and festivities will begin at dawn, with the first ritual being the traditional Madhyana Dhupa, followed by the Sudarshana Dhupa. The procession begins with the Chhera Paati, where the Gajapati King of Puri touches the deities' feet.
As the majestic deities are carried out in a ceremonial procession, thousands of devotees eagerly wait to catch a glimpse of the chariots. The massive colourfully decorated chariots, measuring over 45 feet tall and fitted with intricate designs and sculptures, serve as a testament to the craftsmanship and devotion of the locals.
As per the ceremonial rituals, the three chariots of Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhdra are newly constructed every year and are pulled along the Bada Danda, the grand avenue to the accompaniment of rhythmic drums, cymbals, and blowing of conch shells. These processions emanate an invigorating energy that can be felt by the millions of devotees who throng to witness the event.
The grand spectacle of the Rath Yatra marks the deities' journey from the sanctum sanctorum of the Jagannath Temple to the iconic Gundicha Temple (sister of Jagannath's wife), two miles away. The three chariots are newly constructed every year with wood, bamboo, and other materials. They are custom-made to specifications, with each chariot having a specific colour and design.
The massive procession is a true testament to the cultural heritage of Odisha and the unwavering faith of the devotees. It is a unique experience that brings together people from all walks of life and of all faiths to celebrate this ancient tradition that transcends the boundaries of time and religion.
