One of India’s most anticipated cultural and religious events, the annual Rath Yatra festival of Lord Jagannath at Puri is just around the corner. However, due to restrictions posed by the ongoing Covid pandemic, devotees are not allowed to attend this year’s chariot pulling ceremony. To ensure that devotees do not miss out on the Rath Yatra Vi has arranged for Live streaming of the Rath Yatra from Puri.
Vi customers will be able to view and experience the proceedings of the Puri Rath Yatra Live exclusively on the Vi Movies and TV App as well as through the web. According, to Vi it is the only telecom player to offer the convenience of watching the Rath Yatra Live, on the go, from anywhere.
