The Ratha Yatra takes place every year, and millions of people participate in this festival. It is celebrated to commemorate an event that took place in the holy place of Kurukshetra.
Lord Krishna left Vrindavana in his childhood and the people of Vrindavana became very unhappy. Later, Lord Krishna, as the prince of Dwarka, along with His siblings Baladeva and Subhadradevi came to Kurukshetra. The residents of Vrindavana got the news and came to see Him. They were happy to see the divine siblings and started to pull Their chariot to take Them back to Vrindavana. The most prominent Jagannatha Ratha Yatra is celebrated by the devotees of Jagannatha Temple in Puri, Odisha.

How did this festival start in ISKCON?
By the efforts of Srila Prabhupada, this festival is now being celebrated all over the world. In the summer of 1967, the city of San Francisco saw the Western world’s first Ratha Yatra. Srila Prabhupada introduced Lord Jagannatha to the Western world and also inaugurated the Ratha Yatra ceremony, in its original format.
