A CELEBRATION
Also known as the Festival of the Chariots, the Ratha Yatra Festival originated in the ancient city of Puri, India.
During the festival, three mammoth rathas (chariots), upon which the deities of Jagannatha, Baladeva, and Subhadra are seated, are pulled by rope on a jubilant procession called a yatra, attracting over a million people annually for the past few thousand years. The parade itself symbolizes the pulling of the Lord into our hearts, and it is done with great devotion to the accompaniment of chanting and dancing, called kirtan.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The Festival of Chariots is not just a parade. It is a fully immersive cultural experience, including dance, music, food, philosophy, arts, yoga & more!
