Ratha Yatra - Toronta

Ratha Yatra is a very popular Hindu festival. 'Ratha' means chariot and 'yatra' is holy journey. Lord Jagannatha (Krishna), brother Balarama and sister Subhadra are taken for an annual trip to their aunt's place during June each year. The journey begins from a temple in Puri (Orissa, India) and ends at Gundicha temple which is about 2.2 Km. Many cities in the world now celebrate this as been popularized by ISKCON. The clips herein are from Toronto, Canada.
