A total of 12 photos and videos uploaded during this event.
Wiki Loves Ratha Jatra is an international photographic contest organized annually at Wikimedia Commons to document the culture of Lord Jagannath in different regions of the world. Wiki Loves Ratha Jatra 2024 is a continuation of Wiki Loves Ratha Jatra 2023. The origin of the project started in 2016 from Wiki Loves Ratha Jatra in the theme of Ratha Jatra to document the grand festival of Lord Jagannath at Puri, Odisha.
Ratha Jatra is one of the longest-running festivals of Odisha running for over a month. The festival starts from Akshaya Trutiya and ends after Niladri Bije. This festival dates back to more than 1000 years.
In 2016, the Odia Wikimedians from Puri started this project and after 7 years, in 2023 the Odia Wikimedians User Group restarted this project to collect photos and videos of Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath from different places.
Ratha Yatra, Jagannath Temple, Idols of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra Devi Subhadra, Rituals of Ratha Jatra, Rituals of Jagannath Temple
Prizes
This is not a competition, but more like a celebration, and a remembrance. We do not have any target of NN number of photos or videos to be uploaded, or BB bytes to be added to the articles. The idea is to make some contribution. Yes, as a token of appreciation, the User Group would send you an e-certificate through email to every participaints.
