One of the preeminent religious centres of India, the temple of Lord Jagannath in Puri, Orissa dates to the Vedic era. The book vividly details the temple’s evolution from antiquity through more recently-documented historical periods. The highlight is the stunning photo documentation of the annual Rath Yatra (Chariot Procession), which attracts one of the world’s most colossal devotional congregations. The event is chronicled day-by-day, from the initial preparations for building the gigantic sacred chariots, on up to the grand finale.
