Raurkela Ratha Yatra 2026 Ratha Yatra, also known as the Festival of Chariots, is celebrated to commemorate Lord Jagannath's journey from the Jagannath Temple to the Gundicha Temple in Puri, Odisha. This annual event, typically held in June or July, symbolizes the deities' visit to their birthplace and their interaction with devotees on the streets. It's a festival of unity, devotion, and a reminder of the equality of all beings. Lord Jagannath, along with his siblings Balabhadra and Subhadra, travels to the Gundicha Temple, believed to be their aunt's place and their birthplace.  Raurkela Rathyatra 2026: (dt 16.07.26) On this day, the three deities are taken out from the main Temple, placed in three gorgeously decorated chariots, and start their journey to Sri Gundicha Temple, Sector-5, Ambagan, Rourkela. The chariots are dragged by thousands of devotees from the Lion's Gate of the Jagannath Temple to Sri Gundicha Temple which is located at a distance of 3 kilometers. At Gundicha Temple the deities remain for 7 days and perform their return journey on the 9th day which is known as 'Bahuda Yatra'. The three chariots reach back the main temple in the evening. On the next day, the three deities are attired in costumes of glittering gold ornaments and are worshipped by millions of devotees. This is known as the 'Suna Vesha'. The next morning, the three deities go back to their original place in the temple. Their arrival into the sanctum sanctorum marks the end of the Car festival.
