Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about the Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath that is held in Puri of Odisha every year while addressing the nation in ‘Mann Ki Baat’.
He said “In just a few days from July 1, the famous Yatra of Lord Jagannath is going to start in Puri, Odisha. Efforts are made by the people to have the good fortune of visiting Puri on this occasion. Be it Ahmedabad or Puri, Lord Jagannath also gives us many deep human messages through this journey. Bhagwan Jagannath Yatra begins on Dwitiya, the second day of the month of Ashadha. In our texts ‘Ashadhasya Dwitiya divase… Rath Yatra’, this is how the description is found in Sanskrit shlokas.”
Mann Ki Baat is an Indian radio programme hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in which he addresses the people of the nation on All India Radio, DD National and DD News.
