| [Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe |
Another view of Bhubaneswar Walls. Here you see the painting of the famous Rath Yatra. These wall paintings are the part of the beautification work taken over by the BMC under the leadership of the dynamic lady Aparijita Sarangi.
Today is the World famous Rath yatra .Ratha Yatra is a major Hindu festival associated with Lord Jagannath held at Puri in the state of Orissa, India during the months of June or July (Rainy Season). Most of the city's society is based around the worship of Jagannath (Krishna) with the ancient temple being the fulcrum of the area. The festival commemorates Krishna's return to His home in Vrindavan after a long period of separation from the people there.
he huge processions accompanying the chariots play devotional songs with drums, tambourines, etc. Children line the streets through which the chariot will pass and add to the mass chorus. The Rath carts themselves are some approximately 45 feet high and are pulled by the thousands of pilgrims who turn up for the event. Millions of devotees congregate at Puri for this annual event from all over the country and abroad. It is also telecasted live on many Indian channels. |

Another fantastic detail of these wonderful walls. What I like more here, is the sense of scale that the tree gives - some general views in WS could give context so we could understand better the place. Also, a bigger format would give more visual impact. Excellent framing, beautiful painting. tfs,
ricardo

Hello Radeeh
Continuing your Bhubaneshwar wall series, which I find intriguing & highly interesting. It's a fantastic project taken up by the Govt. Here we see the great Rathyatra festival painted quite beautifully. The tree is important for scale. Good work Radeeh!
Regards
Angshu
