What a great idea! We need this for so many recurring local festivals and
personally I think we need these pictures every single year, but that is
just my opinion. In the Netherlands we have a huge flower parade and yearly
Mardi Gras parades and these are not considered notable enough to have
photos of each city or even each year for big cities. I disagree with that.
Having one Ratha Jatra is great! Thanks for sharing.

Dear Wikimedians,
Ratha Jatra is one of the longest running festivals of Odisha running for
over a month. The festival starts from Akshaya Trutiya and ends after
Bahuda Jatra.This festival dates back to more than 1000 years.
This year, a few Wikimedians from Puri are documenting the process of
building the ratha (chariot) making . They are also uploading every phase
of the building process on Wikimedia Common. Many of the images have been
already uploaded and a lot more are going to uploaded in the due course of
time.
