Rath Yatra Festival - Nairobi 2023 - 8th July 2023

Rath Yatra is derived from two Sanskrit words, Rath, which means chariot or carriage, and Yatra which means journey or pilgrimage. The Jagannath Rath Yatra commemorates Lord Jagannath's visit to his Aunt's palace. She loved to welcome her nephews every year to pamper them with love and affection. Jagannath means the Lord of the universe. The significance of the Rath Yatra is immense for a person, who longs for spiritual merit and final liberation. It is believed that anyone who pulls the rope linked to the chariots of the deities and helps others also in doing so or merely touches the rope or chariots, gets the merit.
