Jagannaath Puri Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in Bhaarath. Today marks the beginning of two days festivities commemorating Lord Shree Krishna in His Form as Lord Jagannaath in Ratha Yaathraa.


As in all such occasions, the program is telecast live by our national and regional TV Channels as shown in this video. Puri Jagannaath Temple itself telecasts this program live as in this link.

Lord Jagannaath's Ratha Yaatraa Fest is organised and enjoyed not only in Bhaarath ((India) but also in many other countries by Vaishnavite devotees.


I fondly remember ISKCON's Ratha Yaatraa festival organised by my beloved brother in our apartment complex; our beloved mother was alive at that time.
