Jagannath Rath Yatra – Importance
Indian festival of Jagannath Rath Yatra is associated with Lord Jagannath, Maa Subhadra (his sister) and Lord Balabhadra (elder brother). This festival holds immense significance in Hindu religion as it is believed that it is a wish of Lord Jagannath to visit Mathura, his place of birth, for some days. So, in order to fulfill the Lord’s wishes, the devotees conduct this procession each year which starts from Lord Jagannath Temple till Gundicha Temple in Puri. This celebration is a way to commemorate the visit of Lord Jagannath to Gundicha temple via Mausi Maa temple.
