Rathayatra 2025: Glimpses of the preparation in north Kolkata's Tarak Pramanik Bari
Rath Yatra (the Chariot Festival), which falls on June 27 this year, marks the annual journey of Lord Jagannath, along with his siblings Balabhadra (Balarama) and Subhadra, from to the Gundicha Temple (in Odisha's Puri), which is about 3 km away from their temple. They stay there for 9 days and then return to the Jagannath Temple. While Puri is a magnet of devotees during the Rathyatra, Kolkata is also long associated with the tradition. One unique example is the brass ratha (chariot) of the Tarak Pramanik Bari at 154,Tarak Pramanik Road in north Kolkata. Steeped in its tradition from the time of British rule when they were barred from taking the chariot outside, the brass rath of the house remains within its courtyard. IBNS lensman Avishek Mitra captures the preparations at the Tarak Pramanik house ahead of the festival tomorrow (June 27).
