Ratha-yatra, or the Festival of Chariots, is a joyous event celebrated for thousands of years in
the Indian holy city of Jagannatha Puri, and more recently by Hare Krishna devotees in cities around the world.
Another name for Krishna, Jagannatha refers to the ecstatic form of the Lord with large eyes and rugged features
who is carried on a gigantic chariot during this festival.
The Ratha-yatra festivals are held at several different places across the country, the biggest
in London. The procession starts from Hyde Park’s Speaker’s Corner near Marble Arch, goes through Park Lane,
Piccadilly and Haymarket and finally arrives at Trafalgar Square, where festivities continue till night. Drama,
dance, philosophy and a feast are the highlights
