Jagannath Rath Yatra Kya Hoti Hai?
Jagannath Rath Yatra ek aisi parampara hai jo hazaron saal purani hai. Is yatra mein Bhagwan Jagannath (Bhagwan Vishnu ka roop), unke bade bhai Balabhadra, aur behen Subhadra apne mandir se niklakar Gundicha Mandir jaate hain — jo unki “mausi ka ghar” maana jaata hai. Yeh 9 din wahan rukne ke baad Bahuda Yatra (wapsi yatra) ke zariye wapas aate hain.
English word “Juggernaut” bhi isi Jagannath se aaya hai — jo dikhata hai ki yeh yatra globally kitni important rahi hai! UNESCO ne bhi is mahotsav ko world-class cultural event maana hai.
