The festival of Jagannath Rath Yatra (Rath Yatra 2024) was celebrated across the country on 7 July 2024. On this occasion, Lord Jagannath, along with his sisters Subhadra and Balarama, reached his aunt's house, Gundicha temple, riding on a chariot. After staying at his aunt's house for 10 days, Jagannath will return to the temple.
