The Jewel of Hampi
Today is one of India's biggest religious festivals, the Jagannath Puri Ratha Yatra. The festival is unique in that three Hindu gods are taken out of their temples in a colourful procession to meet their devotees. The biggest of these processions takes place in Puri in the eastern state of Orissa, while the other takes place in the western state of Gujarat.
