Ratha-Yatra-West Bengal-www.vishvabhraman.com

A Ratha-Yatra or Roth Jatra or Chariot Festival is a Hindu festival that involves transporting deities on a chariot (called a ratha or roth). The festival originated in Puri in the State of Odisha. The rath (chariot) is carrying Lord Jaggannath and due to its massive size and weight and sometimes seeminlgy unstoppable nature, has led to the English word juggernaut to refer to an unstoppable force. Accidents involving people being crushed under the wheels of the chariot have also occurred a few times.


"Ratha" (ରଥ) in Odia means chariot and "yatra" (ଯାତ୍ରା) means journey. The festival thus refers to the annual journey of the divinity in the form of idols to their aunt's (ମାଉସୀ) house. "Aunt" here refers to the feminine creative aspect of divinity.
