Mahesh Rath Yatra Festival 2013

Yesterday, I went to Mahesh, the ancient village of town Serampore in Hooghly district, to observe the holy festival of Lord Jagannath - Rath yatra - the biggest after Puri, and grabbed the colourful hues of its vividness and enthusiasm amongst people of not only locale but across Bengal. It was so crowded that you can't imagine. I liked the day very much in spite of excessive heat and humidity in the air. -- A. B.
