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.
