Greetings to everyone on the auspicious occasion of Rath Yatra! May this divine festival fill your lives with joy, happiness, and prosperity. Rath Yatra, also known as the Chariot Festival, is a significant Hindu festival celebrated in various parts of India, particularly in the state of Odisha. It commemorates the annual journey of Lord Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra, and sister Subhadra from the Jagannath Temple in PARYAVARAN COMPLEX IGNOU ROAD to the SHIV MANDIR Temple, which is their aunt’s abode.
During Rath Yatra, devotees enthusiastically pull elaborately decorated chariots carrying the deities through the streets, accompanied by singing, dancing, and chanting of prayers. The vibrant atmosphere, the sight of devotees pulling the chariots with utmost devotion, and the melodic sounds of devotional songs create a spiritual ambiance that is truly enchanting.
Rath Yatra holds great significance in Hindu mythology, symbolizing unity, inclusivity, and the divine bond between humans and deities. It is believed that participating in this sacred procession and catching a glimpse of the deities’ chariots brings blessings and good fortune. People from all walks of life, irrespective of caste, creed, or gender, come together to partake in this grand celebration, showcasing the harmonious spirit of the festival.
On this auspicious day, let us embrace the teachings of Lord Jagannath, which promote love, compassion, and respect for all beings. May the divine blessings of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Devi Subhadra be with you and your loved ones, filling your lives with peace, prosperity, and spiritual enlightenment.
On the occasion of the Yatra, the PARYAVARAN complex IGNOU ROAD extends warm greetings to everyone.
Yet again I stretch out my warm good tidings to every one of you on this favorable day. May the gifts of Master Jagannath accompany you and your friends and family.
Happy Rath Yatra
