Jagannath's divine journey draws hordes to ISKCON Mayapur
June 28, 2025
|The Statesman Kolkata
With the chants of "Hare Krishna" echoing through the air and the vibrant rhythm of drums and cymbals lifting the spirit of thousands, the divine siblings—Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra—embarked on their majestic annual Ratha Yatra from Rajapur's ISKCON temple to Mayapur's Chandradaya Mandir, transforming the sacred land into a sea of devotion, unity, and festivity.
This year's celebration unfolded with unmatched splendour, as decked-up chariots rolled through the lanes of Rajapur, pulled by throngs of devotees from across Bengal and beyond.
The procession began amid tight security and much fanfare, with prominent personalities adding grace to the inauguration. Veteran actress and former MLA Debashree Roy and popular Bengali film star Rukmini Maitra performed the traditional Chhera Pahanra—a ritual of sweeping the chariot path with a golden broom, symbolising humility before the Lord.
