Rathayatra Calendar 2026

In a world that rarely slows down, Ratha Jatra in Puri offers a rare moment of pause, joy, and shared celebration. Once every year, Lord Jagannath, along with his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra, leaves the sanctum of the Shree Mandir and comes out onto the streets of Puri to meet his devotees. From the Ratnasinghasan, the Lord is carried by his Sevayats in the ceremonial procession known as Pahandi, swaying gracefully to the rhythm of brass gongs, cymbals, conches, and devotional chants as waves of faith fill the air.
