CHHINDWARA JAGANNATH RATH YATRA MP

Every year the Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath is taken out in Puri on the second date of Shukla Paksha of Ashadh month. Apart from Lord Jagannath, the chariot of his elder brother Balarama and sister Subhadra is also taken out in the Rath Yatra. First of all, the Taldhwaj chariot of Balabhadra Ji is taken out. After this the Darpadalan chariot of Subhadra Ji takes place. In the end, the devotees start pulling the chariot of Lord Jagannath Ji Nandighosh with the help of big ropes.

In Chhindwara, the Rath Yatra is carried out like a Puri

The Rath Yatra of Mahaprabhu Shri Jagannath Ji has started in the year 2015 in Chhindwara city of Madhya Pradesh.  Since then the Rath Yatra of Lord Shri Jagannath Ji is taken out every year. Every year the nature of Rath Yatra is getting bigger. Here the invaluable devotion of the devotees is the core of the Rath Yatra. On the day of Jagannath Rath Yatra, Lord Mahaprabhu Shree Jagannath along with his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra sets out to meet the devotees and visit the city.

        According to the beliefs of the Hindu religion, whoever pulls the chariot by participating in this Rath Yatra, gets the virtue equivalent to performing a hundred yagnas.

        It is only after the Pahandi Vijay tradition that the Lord is placed on the chariot. Devotees dance with devotion in the Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath. Following the Pahandi Vijay tradition, Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Mata Subhadra ride on a chariot to offer darshan to the devotees. After that, all the devotees pull the chariot.
