Jagannath Rath Yatra 2026 is celebrated on July 16 in Puri, Odisha.

Deities Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Goddess Subhadra are taken from the Jagannath Temple to the Gundicha Temple on grand wooden chariots.

The chariots are built from scratch using specially selected wood and traditional methods.

Pulling the chariot is considered highly auspicious and believed to remove sins.

The festival allows devotees who cannot enter the temple to receive blessings from the deities.
