Around 1.5 million devotees from across the country thronged the temple town of Puri in Odisha to pull the three wooden chariots carrying Lord Jagannath and his siblings on the main thoroughfare as the historic Rath Yatra began on Sunday.

Thousand of devotees pulled forward giant chariots from the 12th-century Jagannath temple in Puri towards Gundicha temple, around 2.5 km away, as Rath Yatra festivities began in Odisha on Sunday.

Rath Yatra is one of Odisha's main festivals commemorating the annual journey of Lord Jagannath and his siblings from the Jagannath temple to their aunt’s abode in Gundicha temple. The Rath Yatra is the only time when Lord Jagannath comes out of his holy abode so that people of all religion can see him as only Hindus are allowed into the temple on regular days.
