Zatra is the Konkani language term for the pilgrimage festivals celebrated at Hindu temples in Goa; the Hindi and Marathi language equivalents are Yatra and Jatra. During the Zatra the idol(s) or murtis of the Hindu deity or deities are taken out on special procession either in a Palkhi (sort of a Palanquin) or in a large multi-storied chariot called the Rath. Traditionally every temple observes this festival once a year on the traditional day.
