ABOUT RATH YATRA

Puri, also rendered as
the Ratha Jatra, is
considered the oldest
and largest Hindu
chariot festival
celebrated annually,
on the bright half of the
lunar month of
Ashadh. The festival is
held at the city of Puri,
in the state of Odisha,
India and associated
with the deity
Jagannath
WHERE IT IS CELEBRATED
 Hera Panchami is a ritual observed during
the period of Rath Yatra in the Grand
Jagannath Temple of Puri. It is known as a
ritual of Goddess Lakshmi. The fifth day from
Rath Yatra, i.e., the fifth day in bright fortnight
of Ashadha is known as the Hera Panchami.

prabhu .Full name of Subhadra is Bhadr
and Full name of Balaram is Balabhadra

NINE INCREDIBLE FACTS
 The flag atop the temple has been observed to flap in the
opposite direction of the breeze.
 Irrespective of where you stand in Puri, it seems to you that
the Sudarshana Chakra on top of the temple is always facing
you.
 Usually in coastal areas during the day-time, the breeze
blows from the sea towards the land and during evening
hours it blows from the land towards the sea. But in the case
of Puri it is the reverse.
 No birds fly above the Jagannath temple in Puri.
 The shadow of the main dome of Jagannath temple is not
visible, whatever be the time of day. Maybe an architectural
feat or the Lords desire.
 The food cooked inside the temple everyday will not go
waste.
