Rath Yatra 2024 - Hindu Festival
The crowd is palpable, all pulling the ropes of the chariot as the chariot moves forward. The priests are seated on the chariot with the deity Krishna Rai. One priest is climbing to the highest point of the chariot and moving the electric wire with safety rubber gloves on his hands using a bamboo stick to avoid being electrocuted. Priests are sometimes spreading sugar drop candy or batasha from the chariot towards the pilgrims as a blessing from God in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on July 7, 2024.
