The procession of Rath-yatra at Ahmedabad is the biggest in Gujarat. On this day Lord Krishna had left with his brother Balram and sister Subhadra by a chariot, leaving behind the gopis and gopals weeping. There are three separate chariots for the idols of Krisna, Balram and their sister Subhadra.

        The chariots resemble those at Jagannathpuri and are adorned with garlands. Musical bands and bhajan mandlis lead the procession. Decorated elephants also move with the procession and gymnasts and acrobats perform physical feats. Numerous sadhus of all Vaishnavite sects and devotees join in this procession headed by the mahant of Jagannaath temple.People from different parts of the country are attracted at the grand fair held at Dakor. The day is celebrated in remembrance of the most touching separation and farewell.
