Etymology

Rath Yatra consists of two words: rath, meaning a chariot; and yatra, which means a pilgrimage, a journey, or a procession. Accordingly, rath yatra describes a procession of chariots, generally drawn by horses. Vedic scripture speaks of Rath in various contexts, and in the epic wars of the Mahabarath, Rathas formed a major means of movement of warriors. There were many famous Rath Yatras in Hindu legend.
