Women are celebrating Jaggannath’s Sanan Jatra Utshab (Lord Jaggannath’s milk bath festival) at Tanti Bazar in Dhaka. 15 days before Rath-jatra Goldhala utsab celebration. Ratha-Yatra or Chariot Festival is a Hindu festival that involves transporting deities on a chariot (called a ratha or roth). The festival originated in Puri in the State of Orissa. The rath (Chariot) carries Lord Jaggannath and due to its massive size & weight and sometimes seeminlgy unstoppable nature, has led to the English word juggernaut to refer to an unstoppable force.
