| A Rath Yatra in Delhi has its resonance in Puri. The Jagannath Rath Yatra organised by ISKCON in Delhi on Sunday is untimely, say Jagannath devotees.
The Rath Yatra is held in the Hindu month of Asadh, which generally falls in July. And this yatra in December has angered many Hindu organisations and the Puri temple priests.
''This Rath yatra which is being taken out by ISKCON people in Rohini in Delhi is definitely untimely and it has given lot of pain to devotees of Lord Jagnnath through out the world,'' Suresh Mohapatra, Chief Administrator, Sri Jagannath Temple, Puri
''We have written to Delhi government not to allow this Rath yatra and not to participate in this Rath yatra. We request ISKCON devotees not to take out such Rath Yatras,'' he added.
But ISKCON argues the yatra can be taken out any time of the year.
The powerful Puri temple and other Hindu groups are gearing up for a campaign against ISKCON, accusing it of sacrilege.
