Temple Rathotsava, or chariot festival, is a grand religious event celebrated at select temples in and around Gangavati. During this festival, the temple deity is placed in a beautifully decorated wooden chariot and taken in a ceremonial procession through the streets. Devotees pull the chariot together while chanting prayers, creating a powerful display of faith and unity.

The Rathotsava symbolizes the belief that the divine comes out to bless the people directly. Streets are adorned with decorations, and traditional music adds to the festive spirit. This visually striking festival attracts devotees and visitors alike and stands as a strong representation of Gangavati’s temple-centered cultural life.
