Ratha Yatra is a grand chariot festival held annually where devotees pull the temple chariot through the streets of Chennai. This ancient festival celebrates Lord Jagannatha's journey and is one of the most significant events in the Krishna consciousness calendar.
Devotees of all ages participate in pulling the chariot with devotion and enthusiasm. The festival includes kirtan (chanting), dancing, and distribution of prasadam. Everyone is welcome to join this joyous celebration.
