The posts commemorate the auspicious occasion of Rath Yatra, a Hindu festival celebrated in honor of Lord Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra, and sister Subhadra. This year's Rath Yatra is particularly significant as it is a two-day affair, a rare occurrence happening after 53 years. The festival involves a grand procession where the deities are taken out in chariots from the Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, and are paraded through the streets. The event is marked by prayers, celebrations, and the pulling of the chariots by devotees, symbolizing a journey of faith and devotion. Various dignitaries, including the Governor of Bengal and political figures, have extended their wishes for peace, prosperity, and good health to all on this occasion. #RathYatra2024
