The Rathayatra of Mahesh (Bengali: মাহেশের রথযাত্রা) is the oldest chariot festival in Bengal,[5] and is said to have been celebrated since 1396.[6] The first temple of Jagannath Deb was built by Raja Manohar Roy of Sheoraphuli Raj who also denoted large portion of land in establishing the Jagganathpur Mouza.[7] It is held in Mahesh, a historical locality within Serampore in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is a week-long festival and a grand fair is held at that time.[8] People throng to have a share in pulling the long ropes (Rosshi) attached to the chariots of Lord Jagannath, Balarama and Subhadra on the journey from the temple to Mahesh Gundicha Bari (or, Masir Bari) and back within 8th day.
