More about the event
This isn't just a parade—it marks Lord Jagannath's symbolic yearly visit to his aunt's place.
Pulling the chariots is all about seva (service), with music and chants bringing everyone together.
For Mathura—so closely tied to Krishna—it's a day that celebrates faith and unity in a big way.
