When I was growing up, Rath Yatra was one of the festivals I used to eagerly look forward to. We (the neighborhood kids, a.k.a the organising team) used to decorate a small chariot (this group activity was fun!) and drive it within our neighbourhood. Our neighbours used to come out on the streets, pay homage to the holy siblings, and even donate some money in a small cashbox kept inside the chariot. In return, they used to receive 'nakuldana' and 'batasha' as prasad.
Later on, the collected fund was utilised to buy ingredients for 'khichdi', and the organising team used to have a feast!
