Jagannath Rath Yatra 2025

The tradition of changing the flag of the Jagannath temple every day has been going on for years. It is said that this tradition shows respect and devotion towards the Lord. Every day a priest climbs to a height of 45 floors on the top of the temple and changes this flag.

There is a religious belief that if the Jagannath temple makes the mistake of not changing the flag even for a day, then this temple will remain closed for the next 18 years. If the doors of the temple are opened during this time, then apocalypse can also happen.

It is believed that the old flag attracts negative energy, so it is removed. It is also believed that the flag is a symbol of the presence of Lord Jagannath.

If this flag becomes old or torn or is missing for any reason, then the divine energy gets obstructed. Hence it is necessary to replace it every day before sunset.

The flag of the Jagannath temple challenges science. The flag does not wave in the direction of the wind but in the opposite direction. Why and how this happens is a mystery in itself, this phenomenon is a matter of surprise even for scientists.

This year the Jagannath Yatra has started from 27th June. Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra Devi have left for Gundicha temple. This Yatra will end on 5th July.
