EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Hindu Juggernaut Car procession, a historical and elaborate ceremony held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The term "juggernaut" is derived from the Sanskrit word "Jagannatha," one of the many names of Krishna in the ancient Vedic scriptures of India. The famous Jagannath Temple in Puri, Orissa, is home to the Ratha Yatra, an annual procession of chariots carrying the murtis (statues) of Jagannath, Subhadra, and Balabhadra. In this vibrant Sri Lankan celebration, the beautifully decorated chariot, pulled by strong horses, is a testament to the rich history and deep spiritual significance of Hinduism. The devotees, dressed in their finest attire, gather to pay homage to their deities, adding to the festive atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into the intricacies and vibrancy of this historical and cultural tradition, a reminder of the deep-rooted Hindu heritage in Sri Lanka.
