Varanasi celebrated the Rathyatra Mela after Lord Jagannath’s recovery. The Jagannath Temple doors opened after fifteen days of the Lord’s illness. Special rituals and prayers occurred, with Panchamrit distributed among devotees. The Lord was offered parwal juice. A palanquin procession and chariot festival are scheduled. The Rathyatra Mela mirrors Puri’s tradition, featuring a fair with artefacts, toys and food.
