Sri Jagannatha Ratha Yatra

The famous Rath Yatra symbolizes universal brotherhood, equality, and inclusiveness of the highest order. The colors of the sibling Deities (black for Lord Jagannath, white for Lord Balabhadra and yellow for Devi Subhadra) represent the colors of the human beings on Earth. Symbolically, the Ratha (chariot) represents the human body. Yatra (journey) is the journey of life. Sri Jagannath is seated in the chariot as the soul of the body. The charioteer is buddhi (intellect) and the mind is its bridle. The senses are the horses. With perfect harmony and coordination of the senses, mind and intellect, a body that becomes alive with the soul, makes a journey toward its destination, overcoming many challenges on the way.
