This Rathayatra takes place annually since over 13 years. The local
community are mostly from Orissa in India , and with great love they chant

Jai Jagannath!!
“The decoration should be so attractive that people when seeing Jagannatha
will forget all attractiveness of Maya. Then it will be successful, and
actually, this is the process of decorating Jagannatha. Our eyes are
attracted by the beauty of Maya, but if our eyes are attracted by the
beauty of Krishna, the Jagannatha, then there is no more chance of our
being attracted by Maya. In other words, when seeing Jagannatha nicely
decorated, we become freed from the clutches of Maya.”
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, June 7, 1968)
“From my very childhood I was also worshiping Lord Jagannatha. When I was
six years old my father gave me a ratha and I was performing the Ratha yatra
in my neighborhood. And now in the western world you are worshiping Lord
Jagannatha so gorgeously and it pleases me very, very much.”
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, June 10, 1974)
