Summary edit

Description
English: Pulling the tallest chariot of Bangladesh, Hindu devotees celebrate the annual festival Ratha Yatra, Chariot festival related to Lord Jagannath as per Hindu Mythology, in Dhamrai, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The festival involves a public procession with a chariot with deities Jagannath (Vishnu avatar), Balabhadra (his brother), Subhadra (his sister), and Sudarshana Chakra (his weapon) on a Ratha, a wooden deula-shaped chariot. Ratha Yatra is a journey in a chariot of Lord Jagannath accompanied by the public celebrated annually. It attracts over a million Hindu pilgrims who join the procession each year. For the thousands of Hindu devotees, it is considered a pious deed and the huge processions accompanying the chariots play devotional songs with drums, tambourines, and trumpets. A glimpse of Lord Jagannath on the chariot is considered to be very auspicious and saints, poets, and scriptures have repeatedly glorified the sanctity of this special festival. The sanctity of the festival is such that even a touch of the chariot or even the ropes with which these are pulled is considered enough to confer the results of several pious deeds or penance for ages.
