Ratha Yatra or Chariot Festival is the largest festival of world, with a staggering crowd of more than a million people, attending the festival at Puri. This year is a special occasion in which the festival will be celebrated for two days and this has happened after 53 years. In the morning, I shared the live telecast link in a thread

You can feel the crowd only after watching the video. And if you do not know, the purpose of this festival is for Lord Jagannath coming to meet his devotees on this festival, irrespective of caste or religion. People from around the world come on this occasion to have a life time memory.
We joined the local Chariot Festival celebrated in the afternoon, and you can see the devotion and excitements of people, pulling the chariot. I could manage to take some niche captures, even though the rain disrupted.
May the Lord of the universe bring happiness for all of us.
People of the electricity department, making sure, the chariot does not touch the heavy lines.

The crowd were mad, even though it rained, everything is as per his wish.
Many people build a mini chariot and pull it along with the main chariot.

Tiny chariot and very cute.
The lord protects us and we protect him.
