Description
Thousands celebrate the Rathayatra of Mahesh’s returns to the streets of Serampore, in India, after a two-year break during the Covid-19 lockdown. The chariot festival has been celebrated since 1396 and saw more than 100,000 devotees gather around 20 kilometres from Kolkata in the state of West Bengal. They tussle for the chance to pull ropes attached to chariots of Lord Jagannath, Balarama, and Subhadra for a blessing. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
