Puri Rath Yatra 2023: Jagannath Puri Rath Yatra is starting from today. The Jagannath Temple of Puri is one of the Char Dhams of India. In this temple, Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is seated with sister Subhadra and Brother Balarama. Lord Krishna is known here as Jagannath ji. During the Rath Yatra Lord Jagannath accompanied by sister Subhadra and brother Balarama visits his maternal aunt's house. Rides on the chariot and travels around the city and rests in the aunt's house i.e. the temple.
People from all over the country come to participate in the Jagannath Rath Yatra. However, if you are reaching Puri to participate in the Rath Yatra, then take special care of some things so that your journey is auspicious and comfortable.
Hotel booking
During the Rath Yatra, most of the hotels, dharamshalas, and places of stay around the temple are full. You may have trouble reaching here and staying, so book a hotel, Dharamshala, or ashram well in advance. If you have not booked the hotel now, then make arrangements to stay in a hotel built at a distance from the temple. It is easy to get a room here.
Packing tips
If there are elders or children in the family, who are going together for Jagannath Yatra, then pack all the necessary things accordingly. Like medicine, the right clothes, etc for the elderly. At the same time, know the condition of the weather in advance so that you can pack clothes accordingly.
Food and drink
There is a market around the temple, where you will find street markets or restaurants to eat. Tasty dishes are available in many shops at low prices, but eat anything keeping in mind the purity. Keep in mind that this should not spoil your health. Restaurants can also get crowded during this time, so carry some snacks and dry fruits with you.
