- Description: The annual Rathayatra or chariot journey is an important Hindu festival, referring primarily to the journey of the god Jagannath or Vishnu to the sea. It is observed on the second day of the new moon in Asadha, the fourth month of the Hindu calendar. The return journey takes place on the 11th day of the moon. The chariot is thus brought back to its starting point after eight days. Hindus believe that seeing Jagannath on his chariot will release them from the cycle of rebirth. Hindu devotees accordingly arrange this chariot journey in the hope of attaining salvation. Sylhet, Bangladesh. 2005.
