UK: Over 1,000 devotees join Rath Yatra celebrations
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Over a thousand devotees gathered in Slough, United Kingdom, to take part in the grand Rath Yatra celebrations, the High Commission of India said on Monday.
India's Deputy High Commissioner to the UK, Sujit Ghosh, participated in the celebrations, which were organised by the Shree Jagannatha Society UK.
In a significant moment during the event, Sujit Ghosh performed the sacred 'Chhera Paharna' ritual--one of the most important customs of the Rath Yatra. The ritual, which involves sweeping the chariot before the deities, symbolises humility and equality before God.
The High Commission wrote on X, "DHC @sujitjoyghosh participated in the Grand Ratha Yatra in Slough, organised by @JagannathaUK. He performed the sacred Chhera Paharna ritual. Over 1,000 devotees joined the celebrations."
