Description

Thank you for stopping by. All your comments are greatly appreciated. Taken from a photo in Golden Gate Park of the annual Ratha Yatr Festival of the Chariot. Ratha Yatr is a huge Hindu festival associated with Lord Jagannath held at Puri in the state of Orissa, India during the months of June or July. Most of the city's society is based around the worship of Jagannath with the ancient temple being the fulcrum of the area. The festival commemorates Lord Jagannath's annual visit to Gundicha mata's temple via aunt's home (Mausi Maa Temple which is near Balagandi Chaka in Puri). I've also posted this image in this months 2D theme. Nirvana
