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.
