Lord Jagannatha, Lady Subhadra and Lord Balarama ride on three huge, colourful wooden chariots and are the focus of the festival.
The world’s oldest documented festival ever known was celebrated for the 50th year in a row in Durban over the weekend and originated in India thousands of years ago.
Food for Life SA supplied more than 100 000 plates of free food to the public.
The Festival of Chariots held in Durban over the long weekend attracts thousands of people from across the globe.
There was an array of many stalls, activities, dancing, philosophical discourses, health cooking lessons, an explosion of tradition and colour and so much more!
The Festival of Chariots is certainly a KwaZulu-Natal attraction for the Easter weekend that attracts visitors globally of all races and religions!
