Actress Priyanka Sarkar reflects on Rath Yatra significance
Bengali actor Priyanka Sarkar says Rath Yatra is "a feeling woven with childhood memories, family rituals, and simple joys."
For her, it's not just about religion—it's about family time, traditions, and passing on cultural roots.
The actor shares how she celebrates the festival
Priyanka remembers rushing home from school to decorate the rath while her dad cleaned it the day before.
She loved distributing prasad and earning pocket money by ringing bells—small joys she now shares the tradition of Rath Yatra with her son.
Priyanka's dreams of visiting Puri and more
She looks forward to street food at the Rath er mela—think papad and khaja.
Though she always wanted to visit Puri during Rath Yatra, she only recently managed an impromptu darshan at Jagannath Temple.
For her, this festival also kicks off Durga Puja prep with age-old family rituals.
She still enjoys heritage Durga Puja feasts
Priyanka still joins heritage Durga Puja feasts every year and fondly recalls upgrading her childhood rath from one tier to three.
Now, these little traditions are being passed down to her son—keeping the festive spirit going strong.
