Bhubaneswar: Chariots were rolled at various places in the Capital city with festive fervour on the occasion of Rath Yatra, Sunday. Hundreds of devotees gathered at prominent places and pulled the splendidly adorned chariots with chants and hymns filling the air. The rain that lashed the City in the afternoon could not dampen the enthusiasm of devotees who milled around chariots and sought blessings of deities.

The Capital witnessed celebrations at more than 50 places. Major events were organised at Patiagarh, VSS Nagar, Old Town, Jagamara, Utkal University campus, Regional College of Management, Bhimatangi, Dumduma, Baramunda, Niladri Vihar, Laxmisagar and OUAT. On this joyous occasion, a large number of devotees assembled at Shrivani Kshetra of KISS and took part in religious ceremonies like Mangala Arati, Mailama, Tadapalagi, Rosha Homa, Abakasha and Surya Puja. Thereafter, devotees pulled forward the three chariots of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra up to the newly-built Gundicha Temple near KIIT-Sikharchandi Road. The chariot of Devi Subhadra was pulled by women devotees only. All rituals were performed as per the traditions of Puri Srimandir.
