Kolkata, July 4 (TIWN) Soaking themselves in religious fervour, lakhs of devotees across West Bengal on Thursday celebrated the Chariot Festival or Rath Yatra, Lord Jagannath's annual visit to his aunt's house.

Chanting "Jai Jagannath" and "Hare Krishna" people thronged the roads and went up to the roof tops to have a glimpse of their beloved lords.  The centre-piece of the celebrations were colourful chariot processions brought out by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) here and its global headquarters Mayapur in Nadia district, both of which drew huge crowds of devotees cutting across religious, social and economic barriers.
