The correct answer is Option (1) → Ratha Yatra

The correct answer is Ratha Yatra. Ratha Yatra is a Hindu festival celebrated to pay reverence to Lord Jagannath. It is held annually in the holy city of Puri in Odisha, India. The festival takes place on the second day of the Shukla Paksha (waxing fortnight) in the month of Ashadha (June-July).

During the Ratha Yatra, the idols of Lord Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra, and his sister Subhadra are taken out of their temple and placed on three decorated chariots. The chariots are then pulled by devotees through the streets of Puri to the Gundicha Temple, which is about 3 kilometers away. The journey is a symbol of Lord Jagannath's annual visit to his aunt's house.

The Ratha Yatra is one of the most important festivals in Odisha and is attended by millions of people from all over India and abroad. It is a time of great joy and celebration, and is a reminder of the power of faith and devotion.
