Hare Krishna chants reverberated in London streets
Thousands of pilgrims and faith leaders from all over the world participated in the London Rath-yatra, festival of chariots, on Sunday evening as the city was illuminated by wonderful colours and sounds of the annual Hare Krishna Festival.
The devotees pulled three 40-foot high colourful chariots carrying the sacred deities of Lord Jagannatha, Lady Subhadra and Lord Balarama from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square.
