Jamshedpur: The 9th International Yoga Day (IYD) was celebrated with enthusiasm in the Steel City as over 50,000 enthusiasts participated in yoga sess.
JAMSHEDPUR: For the second consecutive year, devotees witnessed muted Rath Yatra celebrations in different parts of the Kolhan division on Monday. Keeping the Covid-19 pandemic in mind, organising committees observed the rituals in a low-key manner in the presence of only a handful of festive enthusiasts, temple volunteers and servitors.
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)-run Jagannath temple Rath Yatra in Golmuri saw a small group of people turning up at the chariot-pulling event.
“Although, chariot movement was confined to a 10-metre radius within the temple compound, the enthusiasm was the same,” Jamshedpur MP Bidyut Mahato, who attended the chariot-pulling event at the ISKCON temple, said.
