There were reports about people complaining of suffocation and collapsing during Rath Yatra. Ambulances were called in to take some devotees to the hospital.
Somewhere in the 3-km long stretch of Bada Danda street between Jagannath and Gundicha temples in Odisha’s Puri, Anirban Bose cranes his neck to see better over the sea of heads around him. It’s been drizzling, and near him, the sounds of the ghanti (cymbals) — played by some priests dressed in red — get louder and louder.
Suddenly, the crowd surges forward, their hands raised in prayer, as they see what they were waiting for: Lord Jagannath emerging from his 12th Century temple and heading towards the Gundicha temple in his chariot, Nandighosh.
