Raipur : Governor Shri Ramen Deka and Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai today participated in the Rath Yatra Mahotsav of Mahaprabhu Shri Jagannath organized at the Jagannath temple located in Gayatri Nagar Raipur. Governor Shri Deka and Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai performed the ritual of 'Chhera-Pahara' by worshiping Lord Jagannath. First Lady of the state Mrs. Rani Deka Kakoti worshiped Shri Jagannath ji with rituals.
Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai today participated in the Rath Yatra organized at the Jagannath temple located in Gayatri Nagar of the capital Raipur. Mahaprabhu Jagannath ji's Rath Yatra was taken out with special rituals in the Jagannath temple located in Gayatri Nagar, Raipur. Before starting the Rath Yatra, the idols of the Lord were brought from the temple to the chariot and the path was cleaned with a golden broom. This tradition is called Cherapahara.
On this occasion, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai congratulated all the people of the state on Rath Yatra and said that this festival is as big a festival for Chhattisgarh as it is for Odisha. Shri Sai said that Lord Jagannath is the protector of farmers. It is due to his grace that it rains, paddy ears fill with milk and prosperity comes to the houses of farmers. I pray to Lord Jagannath that Chhattisgarh has a bumper crop this year too. He said that I request Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra to keep their blessings on all of us and lead us towards peace, prosperity and happiness.
Chief Minister performed the ritual of Cherapara with a golden broom
This old tradition is performed in the Jagannath temple located in Gayatri Nagar of the capital Raipur on the lines of the Rath Yatra of Puri. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai completed the ritual of Cherapara and inaugurated the Rath Yatra by sweeping the road with a golden broom. After this, he took the idol of Lord Jagannath to the chariot and seated it.
Rath Yatra is held in Chhattisgarh on the lines of Odisha
Odisha state is famous in India for Rath Yatra. Being a neighboring state of Odisha, this festival has a wide influence in Chhattisgarh as well. In the Rath Yatra taken out today, Lord Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra were worshipped with special rituals. According to the priest of the temple, this is a symbol of an unbreakable partnership between the Utkal culture and the culture of South Kosal. It is believed that the original place of Lord Jagannath is Shivrinarayan Tirtha of Chhattisgarh, from where he was established in Jagannath Puri. In Shivrinarayan itself, in the Treta Yuga, Lord Shri Ram had accepted the sweet berries offered by Mother Shabari with love. At present, a grand temple of Nar-Narayan is established here.
On this occasion, Revenue Minister Shri Tankaram Verma, MP Shri Brijmohan Agarwal, MLA Shri Purandar Mishra, Shri Dharmlal Kaushik along with other dignitaries and a large number of devotees were present.
