The 144th annual rath yatra of Lord Jagannath began in Gujarat s Ahmedabad city on Monday morning, but it was devoid of the usual festive fervour and crowds due to the curfew imposed on its route to bar people from taking part in it in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.
To prevent people from gathering on roads for a glimpse of the deities, a curfew has been imposed on the entire 19-km route of the procession from early morning till afternoon. Here are the highlights from Lord Jagannath s annual rath yatra.
