Jagannath Rath Yatra: A Journey of Devotion
The Significance of the Festival
The Significance of the Festival
The Rath Yatra signifies the annual visit of Lord Jagannath to the Gundicha Temple, his birthplace, accompanied by his siblings. This journey symbolizes the Lord’s desire to be closer to his devotees and bless them. It also represents the universal concept of the divine stepping out of the temple to reach out to the masses, crossing social and economic boundaries.
This sacred procession reminds us that the Lord belongs to all transcending caste, creed, and class to embrace every heart with love, compassion, and unity.
