Devotees partake in the Samuhika-Maha Aarti during the Rath Yatra celebrations at India House.

H

oustonians celebrated the annual Rath Yatra on July 14th, the very same day when it was also celebrated in Puri, India with pomp and gaiety. Rath Yatra is the celebration of devotion, universal brotherhood, cultural diversity and spiritual bonhomie and that is what was exhibited at India House on the sunny Texas summer day. Orissa Culture Center (OCC) in collaboration with Shri Sitaram Foundation has been organizing Rath Yatra since 2008 and this is the 11th year running. This particular year

is special as the Rath Yatra was supported and promoted by City of Houston and Houston Arts Alliance. India House was decorated and decked up since the night before, with volunteers working in synergy up until the very day to have everything ready for Rath Yatra. Traditionally, the build-up for Rath Yatra starts on Akshaya Tritiya, in the last week of April, and that is exactly when the Houston Odia community led by OCC began the activities for Jagannatha Rath Yatra. Like the

previous years, Houston Rath Yatra was a day-long event beginning with traditional ‘pujaarchana’ which involved havan and puja dedicated to Shri Balabhadra, Devi Subhadra and Shri Jagannatha. The customary ‘Chhappan Bhoga’, which includes 56 Odia delicacies, was offered to the deities along with the prayers for individual and global peace. Concurrently in the morning, free community health and dental fair was offered as part of the day-long festivity. Continued on page 4
