Digha rub-off effect: Attendance soars at Kolkata Rath, riding high on state's festive momentum
Kolkata: The Iskcon Rath Yatra in Kolkata attracted a higher number of participants this year, marking a 15% increase compared to previous years. This rise is attributed to the chief minister's personal involvement in organising the Rath Yatra at Digha, which has heightened interest in the festival. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Historically, lakhs have participated in the Rath and Ulta Rath, as well as during the nine days when Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra reside at the makeshift Gundicha temple at the Maidan. Last year, attendance surged to approximately 20 lakh, with expectations to reach 23 lakh this year, according to Radharamn Das, Iskcon Kolkata vice-president. "While we have witnessed an incremental rise of 10% in attendance during the Rath Yatra in 2024, we estimate the count to go up by 15% this year given the turnout we have witnessed on the day of the Rath as well as the weekend," Das said. Initial concerns arose about the event's scale due to Iskcon functionaries and some devotees focusing on the inaugural Rath Yatra at Digha this year. However, these fears were dispelled when approximately 2 lakh people attended the Rath Yatra in Kolkata on Friday. The Maidan saw a footfall of 5 lakh on Saturday and Sunday, with an additional 8.5 lakh between Monday and Thursday, taking the total to 15.5 lakh over seven days. The crowd count would have been even higher but for the heavy showers on multiple days of the week, said Das. Das said the spiritual wave of Rath Yatra sweeping across Bengal had boosted not just the crowd count but also the energy levels. "The unprecedented enthusiasm is partly attributed to the massive attention generated by the state's Rath Yatra celebrations in Digha, where the CM personally took charge of arrangements, setting the tone for a state-wide festive mood," he said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The upward trend follows the post-pandemic revival of public celebrations. In 2020, the Rath Yatra was symbolically celebrated inside Iskcon's Albert Road temple with 18-inch chariots. In 2021, the deities were taken to the 22, Gurusaday Road premises on a truck, with limited participation. Since 2022, with public participation resuming, the numbers have steadily climbed.

Purav Jha Says He 'Cried Last Night' After Losing The Traitors: 'I Didn't Win The Show But...'
Last Updated: Chosen as the season's first Traitor by host Karan Johar, Purav was eliminated during the tense Circle of Shaq round by fellow contestants Uorfi, Nikita, Harsh and Sudanshu. YouTuber and actor Purav Jha, who was one of the most talked-about contestants on the reality show The Traitors, has penned an emotional note after the finale aired on July 3. Chosen as the season's first Traitor by host Karan Johar, Purav was eliminated during the tense Circle of Shaq round by fellow contestants Uorfi Javed, Nikita Luther, Harsh Gujral, and Sudanshu Pandey. A day after the finale, on July 4, Purav took to Instagram to share how overwhelmed he felt after his elimination. He posted a series of photos, including one of him crying on a flight back to Mumbai. 'I was crying last night in the flight not just because of I didn't win the show.. bhyiii mene jo aapke texts dekhe DM me.. ufffff bhyiii zindgi me nahe socha ki kabhi itna pyaar milega," he wrote. 'Like legit kuch log mere lie ro rahe ki aap kyu nahe jeete..O hello cuties me jeet gaya. isse zyda aur kya chaiye mujhe." Purav also reacted to a shocking revelation during the finale. Uorfi, one of the joint winners, disclosed that she had overheard Purav and co-Traitor Harsh strategising about their next move—something that led to his eventual ouster. Reacting to that, Purav wrote, 'I really don't know itne dheere baat karne par bhe kya fucked up hua last ke 10 min me…Ki samne wale ne sun lia…Anyways iam so so so happy ki aap logo ke pyaar ne mujhe winner bana dia." Despite not winning the game, Purav ended his note with gratitude and optimism. 'Baki innocents ko khoob badhai. #TheTraitors this show was truly Roller coaster for me. Thank you Again may be i failed as a Traitor But your love made me a winner." Uorfi Javed and Nikita Luther were crowned the winners of The Traitors, taking home Rs 70 Lakh in prize money. The series finale brought an emotional end to what was a dramatic, twist-filled journey for all contestants. Location : Mumbai, India, India First Published: July 04, 2025, 21:31 IST
