Lord of the Universe's global festival

Ratha-yäträ is an ancient festival glorifying Lord Jagannätha, the Supreme Lord of the universe.
Although Ratha-yäträ has been observed for thousands of years in India, it is not an Indian festival.
Since 1966, as a result of the efforts of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, the joyful Ratha-yäträ festival has become an international event.
