Ratha Yatra has been celebrated for thousands of years in Jagannatha Puri, India where it attracts millions annually. The deity of Lord Krishna is taken out of the temple amidst great fanfare and is placed on large chariots. Today similar festivals are celebrated in major cities all over the world including New York, Los Angeles, Dublin & London and now OTTAWA!
Donโt miss this ancient Indian tradition where people from various walks of life come together to demonstrate the best of the East and West in a beautiful demonstration of friendship, appreciation & unity centered around serving the Lord.
