Rath Yatra FestivalCategory : - All India Travel Tourism > Fairs & Festivals > Rath Yatra Celebrated In: Gujarat. To Commemorate: Separation Of Lord Krishna & The Villagers. Held In: Early July. Unique Feature: Biggest Procession In Gujarat. At the temple town of Puri in Orissa, the image of the god Krishna (known as Jagannath in the State) is taken out with great ceremony in June-July each year. Images of the god and his brother Balbhadra and sister Subhadra are placed in giant large yellow chariots or raths which are then drawn by pilgrims. The chariots are 45 feet high and have 6 wheels. The procession or rath yatra draws huge crowds from all over the country. An atmosphere of almost hysterical devotion prevails on this day and in earlier years, devotees were known to have thrown themselves under the wheels of the rath in the hope of obtaining instant salvation.
