Kite Flying & High Tea at Haveli Dharampura

Fun fact: The Haveli was set to crumble through years of neglect but was restored to its former glory and was set to become a museum.

Jagannath Rath Yatra

This is the oldest and largest chariot procession in the world, celebrated every year with great splendor at the Jagannath Temple. In the months of June or July, people commemorate the Jagannath Rath Yatra in Puri, Odisha for 12 continuous days.

Fun fact: Hindu mythology dictates that deities should not be moved or removed once they are stationed at their altar. This is the only festival where the god Jagannath (god of the universe) comes out of his temple for his devotees.

They bring out him with two other deities (Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra) in a colorful Rath Yatra where the chariots are huge! Think 45 feet. A huge number of devotees pull the chariots as it makes its way through town. Touching or pulling the rope of god Jagannath’s chariot is a popular belief, they will cleanse all sins in every birth of their soul.
