Hare Krishna,
Ratha Yatra is a major festival associated with Lord Jagannath held at Puri in the state of Orissa, India during the months of June or July (Rainy Season).
The festival commemorates the devotees’ attempt to take Krishna back home to Vrindavan after a long period of separation from the people there.
The Rath carts are pulled by the thousands of pilgrims who turn up for the event. Millions of devotees congregate at Puri for this annual event from all over the country and abroad.
A glimpse of Lord Jagannatha on the chariot is considered to be very auspicious and saints, poets and scriptures have repeatedly glorified the sanctity of this special festival. The sanctity of the festival is such that even a touch of the chariot or even the ropes with which these carts are pulled is considered enough to confer the results of several pious deeds or penance for ages.
International Ratha Yatras: The Ratha Yatra festival has become a common sight in most major cities of the world since 1968 by the special efforts and mercy of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (Founder Acharya of The International Society For Krishna Consciousness) who successfully transplanted the festival which now happens on an annual basis in places all over the world in over 100 cities including London, Montreal, Paris, New York, Singapore, Toronto, and Venice.
