The return Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath was celebrated in the pilgrim town of Puri on Wednesday, with devotees pulling the chariots of the deities back to the Jagannath Temple from another shrine three kilometres away.

As the devotees pulled the ropes attached to the chariots, chants of 'Jai Jagannath' and the beating of cymbals rent the air. Many people danced and sought the blessings of the trinity by raising their hands. Lakhs of people have gone to Puri to witness the festival.

Three chariots of Lord Jagannath and his siblings - Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra - reached the Lion's Gate of the 12th-century temple from where they had gone on a nine-day sojourn to Shree Gundicha Temple, considered their birthplace, on June 20 – the day of Rath Yatra. The deities remained at Shree Gundicha Temple for seven days as part of the festival.바카라 웹사이트
