The nomination Dossier for the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage tag for Rath Yatra will be filed soon. This would be a historical achievement for Odisha as the Rath Yatra or the world famous chariot festival witnesses crores of devotees every year. It is the only day when foreign devotees or Non-Hindu devotees get to witness the Lord as they are prohibited entry to the Shree Jagannath temple at Puri on other days.
