In this article we will see about the festivals celebrated in India during the months of June to August.
Rath Yatra:
One of the most fantastic festivals in India held at Puri in Orissa state at the temple of Lord Jagannath. Lord Jagannath along with his brother Balram and sister Subadhra are taken out in a procession to a temple some 2 kilometers away to celebrate Lord Krishna's journey from Gokul to Mathura where he slayed the demon king Kamsa. The three mammoth chariots of 45 feet, 35 feet, and 7-feet respectively are dragged by a 5000 odd men with pomp and splendor down this path. Similar processions held elsewhere in the country, but with lesser grandiose.
