Rath Yatra dates

Computed year by year from the Moon and the Sun. Each row shows the tithi the festival sits on and the lunar month in both the amanta and purnimanta reckonings, because the two name the same month differently during krishna paksha.

Also called: Jagannath Rath Yatra

Shukla Dwitiya, Ashadha

Festival

The rule

What the date is derived from, stated so you can check it.

Ashadha Shukla Dwitiya, when the Puri chariots are drawn. The deities leave the temple for nine days, so the return journey falls on Dashami of the same paksha.

The day is settled by the tithi at sunrise.
