Talking about his experience, a devotee said that worshiping Lord Jagannath was a ‘divine experience’ for him.
“Darshan gave us a divine feeling. The experience was indescribable. The Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath is being organized in Karachi every year since 2009. In the year 2022, the 14th Rath Yatra took place in Karachi. After a long wait of 14 years, we finally got the darshan of the deities. We thank the governments of India and Pakistan for this opportunity,” Bhakt said.
