The Discovery Channel’s Discover India series would showcase a one-hour special programme, ‘Spirit of India-RathYatra’ at 9 pm on Monday.
The programme would bring to its viewers the annual Car Festival and the spectacle of how over one and a half million people congregate for a holy gathering into a single street, Grand Road in Puri, pulling the chariots by hand on a three-km journey, all in the honour of lord Jagannath and His elder brother lord Balabhadra and younger sister Goddess Subhadra.
Presented by UK-born Indian actor Danny Sura, the programme would take viewers on a pilgrimage to the temple city Puri.
The programme will also unravel the pre-celebration activities which start about two weeks ago and the culmination of the momentous Yatra.
