Serve at the heart of India's most sacred procession with Chaaipani. An opportunity to build meaningful, respectful seva, CSR and public-service partnerships at Rath Yatra 2026 — caring for 15 million+ devotees on the ground, with the reach of 500 million+ digital impressions across India and the world.
Every year, millions converge on Puri to pull the chariots of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Devi Subhadra. In 2025, Chaaipani helped leading brands show up through seva, CSR and public-utility programs — hydration, health, safety, sanitation, Anna Seva and crowd care — designed to make the pilgrim's experience easier and safer.
For 2026, this is your invitation to serve at a moment that goes far beyond advertising: a moment of devotion, public service, and once-in-a-lifetime cultural reach.







Rath Yatra 2025 saw leading brands participate through hydration, seva, CSR, food, health, logistics, storytelling, and public utility-led activations. Chaaipani's 2025 work demonstrated how brands can enter the yatra respectfully, visibly, and meaningfully.
