Jagannath Rath Yatra 2024: After 52 years, the Jagannath Rath yatra of Puri is going to be held for two consecutive days. This is the second day of Jagannath Rath yatra. Today also, president Droupadi Murmu will be present witnessing lakhs of devotees pull the rope of the chariots of the gods.
The Jagannatha Rath Yatra unfolds in captivating rituals, each steeped in symbolism and tradition. A day before the grand procession, the deities undergo a ceremonial bath (Rath Snana) involving 108 pots of aromatic water and sacred items, signifying their purification before the journey. This is followed by the Rath Pratistha (Consecration of the Chariots), where priests chant mantras and bless the newly built chariots, transforming them into vessels for the divine journey. The pinnacle of the Yatra arrives with the Rath Yatra (Chariot Procession). Thousands of devotees throng the streets, chanting hymns and brimming with fervor as they pull the majestic chariots towards the Gundicha Temple.
