Rath Yatra – Festival of the Chariots

A sea of humanity descends on Puri to witness the annual Rath Yatra. Ecstatic cries of ‘Jai Jagannath’ rend the air as the chariots move on almost as if propelled by a divine force. A spiritual ambience pervades the whole scene as bells chime, conch shells blow & saffron robed sadhus dance with abandon.

The famous Festival of the Chariots is held on the 2^nd day of the bright fortnight of Aashad (June-July). This festival is also called Gundicha Yatra or Ghosha Yatra. 

Legend

According to legend, Biswabasu, a tribal devotee, worshipped Jagannath in the form of Nilamadhava.

Another legend says that Lord Vishnu was the carpenter of these wooden images. An impatient Gundica, the queen of Indradyumna opened the doors of the carpenter’s workshop after 14 days whereas they were to remain closed for three weeks.

Disturbed, the divine carpenter vanished, leaving his work unfinished. This is the explanation given for the unusually stocky depiction of Krishna, Subhadra and Balabhadra — the 3 divine siblings.

Rituals & Celebrations

Rath Yatra, known as Car Festival is the grandest of all festivals in Orissa. It is the sacred journey of Lord Jagannath with brother Balabhadra & sister Subhadra from the Jagannath Temple to another shrine called ‘Gundicha Mandir’ for 9 days. Rath means chariot, Yatra – a pilgrimage or procession.

Thousands of devotees from all over India and abroad throng on that day at Puri to pull the sacred Chariots

After the routine morning ceremonies, the gods are served food and dressed in special clothes. Then the daitapatis (priests) take over and unfasten the idols. The Sudarshan Chakra comes down first and as it reaches the stairs of the temple, the images are brought down one after another.  The rhythmic clang of metal gongs, blowing of conch shells and trumpets and chanting of holy men fill the air as the bedecked idols are taken out of the Temple & placed on their own stylized chariot.

The chariots are kept near the Temple’s main gate, the Lion Gate. The Deities are carried to the chariots in a traditional, ceremonial way. First Sudarshan, then Balabhadra, Subhadra and Jagannath are carried in such a way that they rock forward and backward, moving from pillow to pillow as they approach the chariots, and finally ascend the ramp leading to their seats. This rocking motion is called Pahandi.

The name of Lord Jagannath’s chariot is Nandighosh or Kapidhwaja (the monkey crested). It has 16 wheels, and is covered in red and yellow material. Lord Balabhadra’s chariot is called Taladwaja (the palm crested), has 14 wheels and is covered with red and green material. The third chariot, Devadalan or Padmadhwaja (the lotus crested), belongs to Subhadra. It has 12 wheels and a red and black canopy.

After all the deities are seated in their respective chariots starts the Chhera Pamhara, the ritual sweeping of the chariots with a golden broom by the Gajapati King of Puri.

The King comes from his palace on a richly decorated palanquin. Songs and slokas continue as the Raja of Puri sprinkles scented water on the Raths.  Chhera Pamhara is a symbolic rite, which proclaims that the King like others is but a humble servant of the real sovereign, Lord Jagannath.

Two trunks containing the dresses and other items of daily use for the gods are placed in the chariot of Lord Jagannath. Lastly, the images are adorned with fresh headgear and floral arrangements and the procession begins.

The most exciting part of the Rath Yatra is the pulling of chariots by thousands of people who lay their hands on the sturdy ropes and drag the massive structures for about 3 kms down Puri’s Grand Road, from the Jagannath Temple to the Gundicha Mandir or Gundicha Ghar.

The deities, colossal wooden statues, adorned with giant floral crowns, called Tahias, are literally pulled, pushed and dragged in rhythmic movement to the accompaniment of the beat of cymbals, drums and chanting of their names in chorus by devotees in frenzied ecstasy.

The journey breaks mid-way where Mausi-ma- mother’s sister-stays. Here deities don’t enter the temple, but rituals are performed welcoming them right on the raths and Mausi-ma feeds them poda pitha.

The chariots grind forward slowly until they reach the Gundicha temple where the three deities rest for a night on their own chariots. The next day they enter the Gundicha temple in the usual Pahandi style and stay there for 7 days. 

The 5^th day of the festival is known as Hera Panchami. Goddess Lakshmi, who is angry at being left behind at the temple, proceeds to the Gundicha temple to meet Her husband. The image of goddess Lakshmi is ceremonially taken to Gundicha Temple where the chariots are anchored. After having a stealthy look at her Lord, she returns to the temple.

On the 8th day, the chariots are placed facing south-west for resumption of their return journey next day.

The gods have rested and they now return to the Puri temple which has been scrubbed and cleaned as it’s the only time when the temple is not filled with people.

The return journey of the deities commences on the 9^th day. It is called Bahuda Yatra. On his way back, Jagannath stops for a while at Ardhasini temple, popularly called Mausi Ma temple. He accepts from the aunt His favorite rice cake, Poda Pitha. 

Chariots of Balabhadra and Subhadra reach Simhadwara first and Nandighosha stays back in front of the palace of Puri Raja. From the chahani mandap (viewing platform, near the Snana Mandap), Goddess Lakshmi watches the safe return of the Lord Jagannath. She breathes a sigh of relief, rushes out to that place, circumambulates her dear Lord, receives a garland (ajnamala) from him and is swung back to the Temple to feign her reluctance in granting admittance to Lord Jagannath to the temple. Nandighosha finally reaches the Simhadwara and that marks the end of the journey by chariot.

On the 11th day, (Niladrivije) the deities still occupying their chariots outside the Simhadwara are richly attired in costumes  of  glittering gold and are worshipped by thousands  of  devotees.  This form of the deities is known as the famous Suna Vesa.

On the 12th day, Niladri Vijoya is celebrated. Balabhadra and Subhadra in ceremonial gotipahandi are ushered into the Ratna Simhasana where as Jagannath alone is left behind and becomes a target of mock humiliation by devadasis at the bidding of Lakshmi. When this pleasant repartee is over Jagannath and Lakshmi are reunited. The event is known as LAKSMI- NARAYAN BHETA.

The Lord Jagannath majestically returns to his Ratnasimhasana, literally the jeweled platform, with the usual fanfare and the Pahandi style and joins his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra. Their arrival into the Sanctum sanctorum marks the end of the Ratha Yatra the grand festival of chariots.

The Rath Yatra is a festival unparalleled in colour, gaiety, display of devotion and spontaneity of emotional involvement.
