JAI JAGANNATH

The famous Rath Yatra is all set to begin today. Rath in English means Chariot and so, this festival is also known as the Chariot Festival. This festival is celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm all the over the country, but, the celebrations at Puri and Gujarat are worth watching. Rath Yatra is no more a festival limited to India, it has spread to international cities as well, thanks to the ISCKON Hare Krishna movement.

The picture Narendra Modi tweeted with his tweet.

The festival in Puri is an international attraction that has attracted over lakhs of devotes from around the world.

The PM also remembered the 2013 Rath Yatra and posted this picture.

Our very ‘social media’ friendly Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, tweeted- “Wishing everyone on the auspicious occasion of the Rath Yatra. Jai Jagannath.”
