Hi
Welcome to our KZfaq channel Little Crafting.
The Ratha Yatra of Puri, also rendered as the Ratha
Jatra Odia: Gelalgi, lit. 'chariot festival.Odia pronunciation: [rotho dgatral), is
considered the oldest and largest Hindu chariot
festival celebrated annually, on the bright half of
the lunar month of Ashadh (June- July). The
festival is held at the city of Puri, in the state of
Odisha, India and associated with the deity
Jagannath (a form of Vishnu or Krishna). During
the festival, three deities (Jagannath, his brother
Balabhadra and sister Subhadra) are drawn by a
multitude of devotees in three massive, wooden
chariots on bada danda (the grand avenue) to
Gundicha Temple whereby they reside there for a week and then return to the Jagnannath temple
This return trip is referred to as the Bahuda
Yatra.
Ratha Yatra of Puri
On the way, the chariot of Jagannatha, Nandighosa
waits near the crematorium of Bhakta
Salabega, a Muslim devotee, to pay
him tribute
On their way back from the Gundicha Temple, the
three deities stop for a while near the Mausi Maa
Temple and have an offering of the
Poda Pitha, which is a special type of pancake
supposed to be the deity's favourite. After a stay of
seven days, the deities return to their abode.
History
Descriptions of the Ratha Yatra can be found in
Brahma Purana, Padma Purana, the Skanda
Purana, and the Kapila Samhita.Records of the
festival have been noted by European travelers
since the 13th century, with the most prominent
and vivid descriptions noted in the 17th century.
