Well that's what the brochure said!
Completely caked in powder, the D700 focused and fired everytime. Top and rear LCD was completely covered - just managed a glimpse of a histogram now and then.

Ratha Yatra
The 'Rath Yatra' or Festival of Chariots is one of the greatest festivals annually observed all over India. The festival, however, originated in Jagannath Puri on the eastern coast of the state of Orissa, India. The festival is associated with Lord Jagannath and commemorates his annual journey to his aunt's residence along with his brother and sister.
The symbolic movement of the chariot of Jagannath is celebrated with much fanfare. The idols are brought back after a week in the chariot in the festival of 'Ulto Ratha' (reversed Ratha). The week is synonymous with numerous fairs ('Rather Mela').

Face of the Week! (August 5, 2011)
Vancouver’s annual Festival of India (Ratha-Yatra) – occurred 17-18 August. The parade began on Quebec Street at the east endow False Creek.
Ratha Yatra, in English, translates as festival of chariots.
Originating in Puri, India, the festival expanded to other places in the world after Srila Prabhupada, the founder of The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), introduced the festival in ISKCON centres around the world.
Chariot Festival The Chariot Festival of the Jagannatha temple is observed by taking an image of a deity in a procession (yatra) through the streets in a chariot (ratha).
One of the main highlights of the festival is the parade, when the chariot, or yatra, is pulled by people from the temple using a rope. The procession is accompanied by chants, dances, and musical instruments.
Parishioners go to the temples or churches to see the Lord on Sundays or on any festivals. On this day, the Lord is coming out, giving his mercy, letting everyone look at his smiling face.
The yearly pilgrimage of Lord Jagannath and his siblings to their birthplace is represented by this procession.
Chariot Festival is considered the oldest and largest Hindu chariot festival celebrated annually.
Jagannath's rath is known as Nandighosha and has 16 wheels and bears red and yellow clothing covers.
Balabhadra's ratha is known as Taladhwaja, carries red and green cloth covers, and is supported on 14 wheels.
Subhadra's ratha, known as Darpadalana, is covered with red and black clothes and has 12 wheels.
Looks like some of the wheels are missing.

Ratha Yatra is a major Hindu festival associated with lord Jagannath held at Puri in the state of Orissa, India during the months of June or July (Rainy Season). Most of the city's society is based around the worship of Jagannath (Krishna) with the ancient temple being the fulcrum of the area. The festival commemorates Krishna's return to his home in Vrindavan after a long period of separation from the people there. It was being celebrated here at Trafalgar square on June 28th 2009.
Rath Yatra consists of two words: rath, meaning a chariot; and yatra, which means a pilgrimage, a journey or a procession.
a lot of children were involved too. Lots of waiting around for them. Never fun. Ratha Yatra in the city

পরী - গল্পসল্প | রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর
কুসমি আর দাদামশায়......
আমি বললুম, তোমার ছিল এক্জামিন, বিছানার উপরে বসে বসে ভূগোলবৃত্তান্ত মুখস্থ করছিলে, কখন তোমার মাথা ঠেকল বালিশে, পড়লে ঘুমিয়ে। সেদিন ছিল পূর্ণিমার রাত্রি। জানলার ভিতর দিয়ে জ্যোৎস্না এসে পড়ল তোমার মুখের উপরে, তোমার আসমানি রঙের শাড়ির উপরে। আমি সেদিন স্পষ্ট দেখতে পেলুম, পরীস্থানের রাজা চর পাঠিয়েছে তাদের পলাতকা পরীর খবর নিতে। সে এসেছিল আমার জানলার কাছে, তার সাদা চাদরটা উড়ে পড়েছিল ঘরের মধ্যে। চর দেখল তোমাকে আগাগোড়া, ভেবে পেল না তুমি তাদের সেই পালিয়ে-আসা পরী কি না। তুমি এই পৃথিবীর পরী ব'লে তার সন্দেহ হল। তোমাকে মাটির কোল থেকে তুলে নিয়ে যাওয়া তাদের পক্ষে সহজ হবে না। এত ভার সইবে না। ক্রমে চাঁদ উপরে উঠে গেল, ঘরের মধ্যে ছায়া পড়ল, চর শিশুগাছের ছায়ায় মাথা নেড়ে চলে গেল। সেদিন আমি খবর পেলুম, তুমি পরীস্থানের পরী, পৃথিবীর মাটির ভারে বাঁধা পড়ে গেছ।
কুসমি বললে, আচ্ছা দাদামশায়, আমি পরীস্থান থেকে এলুম কী করে।
আমি বললুম, সেখানে একদিন তুমি পারিজাতের বনে প্রজাপতির পিঠে চড়ে উড়ে বেড়াচ্ছিলে, হঠাৎ তোমার চোখে পড়ল দিগন্তের ঘাটে এসে ঠেকেছে একটা খেয়ানৌকো। সেটা সাদা মেঘ দিয়ে গড়া, হাওয়া লেগে দুলছে। তোমার কী মনে হল, তুমি উঠে পড়লে সেই নৌকোয়। নৌকো চলল ভেসে, ঠেকল এসে পৃথিবীর ঘাটে, তোমার মা নিলেন কুড়িয়ে।
কুসমি ভারি খুশি হয়ে বললে হাততালি দিয়ে, দাদামশায়, আচ্ছা, এ কি সত্যি।
আমি বললুম, ঐ দেখো, কে বললে সত্যি। আমি কি সত্যিকে মানি। এ হল আরও-সত্যি।
