Rath Yatra Begins Without Public Gathering: Ahmedabad

The 144th Rath Yatra has started without public participation at Jagannath temple in Ahmedabad on July 12. However, considering the Coronavirus pandemic a curfew has been imposed on the route ''Ashadhi Beej'' and the duration of the procession is also reduced to about four-five hours from the usual 12 hours. Although people are restricted from reaching the route, the govt has made arrangements to telecast the yatra on TV.
