While millions of people are gearing for Lord Jagannath's Rath Yatra in Puri in Odisha, Ahmedabad took the lead to kick off its 135th Rath Yatra amidst tight security arrangements.
The Rath Yatra began at the 400-year-old Jagannath Temple in Jamalpur area in Ahmedabad. Gujarat CM Narendra Modi took the lead by performing the "chhera Pahanra" and "pahandi vidhi".
The Chief Minister himself pilled the chariot of Lord Jagannath along with other people. The 14-km-long procession will pass through all major localities in Ahmedabad. Around 20,000 policemen have been deployed to prevent any untoward incident.
