রথ যাত্রা: idol worshipers on mayretta street

how did the baptists let them in?

ratha-yatra was bigger and better than ever this year --- three giant chariots and a whole bunch of people, indian and otherwise, assembled on walton street for a parade along peachtree and marietta streets and around centennial park --- they kept having to lower the chariot canopies for the traffic lights, which detracted somewhat from the parade --- the chanting was purty good but i was disappointed there weren't great clouds of incense everywhere ---

they were throwing out tasty little bags of nuts and fruit and what not, but were also throwing bananas that would bang you in the head if you weren't ready for it
