Bhubaneswar / Puri: As the Ratha yatra have been cancelled by Supreme Court , it is not as acceptable by the Servitors as they wanted to conduct Ratha yatra as per the schedule with proper maintenance of COVID 19 guidelines.
The Rath Yatra, which draws nearly a million people from across the world and sees frenzied devotees pull the raths (chariots) of the three deities – Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra – on the Grand Road. Due to global pandemic this year it can’t be happen.
In past between 1568 to 1577 the grand spectacle didn’t happen due to the Mogal Kalapahada fear to loose their kuldevta.
After 284 years of this case this the very first time the holy spectacle will not happened in view of the Novel Corona Virus and Nationwide Lockdown.
