Ratha Yatra (temple chariot procession) of Jagannath of Surangigada🔗

The rituals to the deity of Jagannatha in the procession are traditionally performed by members of the Surangi royal family. The chariot at the Jagannath temple in Surangi was pulled and the traditional rituals called Chhera were performed by the Raj Purohits or temple priest of the temple in recent years. Hundreds of people, including the tribal villagers from the neighbouring villages in Andhra Pradesh gathered to pull the chariot for the festival.
