The Rath Yatra
HAPPY RATHYATRA
(4th July 2008)
Best wishes to you all on this auspicious event of "Rath Yatra" the grand "car festival of Lord Jagannath".
Ratha Yatra, the Festival of Chariots of Lord Jagannatha is celebrated every year at Puri, in Orissa, on the east coast of India. The presiding deities of the main temple, Sri Mandir, Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra, with the celestial wheel Sudarshana are taken out from the temple precincts in an elaborate ritual procession to their respective chariots. The huge, colorfully decorated chariots, are drawn by hundreds and thousands of devotees on the bada danda, the grand avenue to the Gundicha temple (Lord's Mausi Maa res), some two miles away to the North.
After a stay for seven days at their Mausi Maa's residence, the deities return to their abode in Srimandira.
May lord Jagannath bless you & yr family and bring glory in all aspect of life...
