Answer:
Mythology of Lord Jagnnath
This Rath Yatra or chariot festival is celebrated in honour of Lord Jagannath who is one of the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu in Hindu mythology.
The festival of Rath Yatra commemorates and celebrates the annual journey of Lord Jagannath with his brother Balabhadra and his sister Subhadra, as he travels from his sacred temple located in Puri to visit his aunt’s temple located in Gundicha.
The three deities are brought out of the temple in a formal and elaborate procession known as Pahandi.
After the Pahandi is over, the holy chariots are swept with stately formality and ceremoniousness by the Gajapati of Puri. Jagannath is in rest for a week after reaching his aunt’s abode at Gundicha.
The worshippers pay their obesiance and make their offerings to him for a whole week. The Punarjatra or the return of Jagannath takes after a week when he returns to his own temple in Puri.
The Rath Yatra festival is a nine day period in which the devotees are engaged in the worship of their god and sing and dance for him. Brahmans are fed and the poor are given alms and charity.
The Chariot Festival
This is a chariot festival. Three separate chariots are created with unique structures and technical design specifications.
Nandighosat is the chariot of Lord Jagannath. It is a towering mammoth creation almost like a skyscraper with eighteen wheels.
Taladhvaja is the chariot of Balabhadra. It is a huge artistic creation but smaller in size to that of Lord Jagannath and it contains sixteen wheels.
Devadalana is the chariot of Subhadra. It is also a towering creation but smaller than the other two and contains fourteen wheels.
As per religious directions and established cultural practices, the idols and the chariots are made of wood and are refurbished after every twelve years in which new creations are established. This is called the Nabakalebara.
