Hindu devotees across the country celebrated Ratha Yatra (Chariot Festival) yesterday. The idols of Lord Jagannath, along with his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra, were paraded through the streets in colourful chariots. The festival marks the deities’ annual journey from the Jagannath Temple to the Gundicha Temple, symbolising a divine visit to their aunt’s home. The photo was taken in the Kazir Dewri area of Chattogram city.
