Puri Rath Yatra also know as the Festival of cars, this festival is celebrated in a spectacular car Asadha months, the second day of the lunar fortnight that falls during June and July. Popularly known as Rath Yatra is celebrated in honor of Lord Jagannath is considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
The famous Ratha Yatra festival is said to have begun in the time of the second Manu Svarochisha manvantara and should continue until the end of the second half of Lord Brahma lives. Even in Valmiki Ramayana, it is mentioned that when Lord Rama was about to leave this world, he said Vibhishan, younger brother of Ravana, worship Lord Jagannatha, Lord of the dynasty Iksvaku in his absence.
The Skanda Purana also the date of the Ratha Yatra the second day of the bright fortnight, if the month Ashadh, once called Nakshatra Pushyami astrological calculations. The Padma Purana describes in Jagannatha Puri Kshetra-Purushottama or supreme bliss of the Divine personality claims to be made of wood. In this way, but the Lord takes on what appears to be a material form, it is quite spiritual, by the causeless mercy of the Lord for the conditioned souls who can not perceive the transcendent domain Hans.
The day of the feast, the wooden idols of Krishna, Balram and Subhadra went in procession in three chariots to their summer temple for a week. The main chariot is 14 meters high and 10 meters square with 16 wheels. The actual construction of the cars began two months before the day of the party, the third day of the bright fortnight of Vaisakhi (April-May).
More than 600 trees, 400 cubic meters of timber needed for construction, which come from local forests, along the banks of the river Mahanadi. Using the same simple tools and procedures as they have for hundreds of years, once the fundamentals are like the wheels, the actual construction did not begin until a few weeks before the festival.
The strings are pulled by big trucks millions of followers. In ancient times, devotees occasionally darted in front of the chariot of Sri Jagananath because he believed it to be crushed under sixteen wheels to go straight to heaven.
As Juggernaut is a form of Sri Vishnu and Sri Krishna, many of the rituals observed in the temple of Puri life events in Sri Krishna. So, this represents an annual Car Festival in Sri Krishna in Gokul and Mathura Travel.
