Summary:
The Rath Yatra brings to life a tradition that has been around for several centuries in Ranchi. From a delicious spread of mouth-watering dishes to the thrill-inducing giant wheels, the Jagannathpur Rath Yatra is a grand spectacle of colours, smells and sounds. Catching an aerial view of the fair, spread over several acres with thousands of people dotting the venue, is breathtaking. Arguably one of the largest gatherings the city witnesses every year, the Rath Yatra is all set to be held on July 14 this year. For many Ranchiites, a visit to the grand fair on the occasion of Rath Yatra, set up in Jagannathpur on the outskirts of the capital, is a walk down memory lane..
