About Rath Yatra

The presiding deity of Utkal Pradesh is considered to be Shri Jagannathji. Vaishnavism here believes that the symbol of the couple idol of Radha and Shri Krishna is Sri Jagannathji himself. As a symbol, the whole world has emerged from Shri Jagannath. Shri Jagannath ji is the perfect God and Lord Krishna is a form of his art. Such recognition is of Pancha Sakhas, disciples of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
