Rath Yatraand other Hindu chariot festivals
>>18545161I kind of get how you would get accidentally crushed by these, or even why someone would willing do so. Though I still think the Jagganath sacrifice thing is overblown if not outright made up. Pajeets would have so much literature about it if it was real, cosidering that they are generally very hostile to the practice.
hammer time
>>18545161Lord Jagannath
>>18545161>>18545165>>18545167>>18545171speaking as an indian i avoid all these public festivities because the stench of these unwashed masses is enough to make one puke. anyway these are nothing more than bread and circuses organized by the government to distract the proles from all the rampant corruption
>>18545246You're not aryan btw
>>18545351yeah no shit sherlock, all indians are just different shades of brown except the adivasis who are actual negroid blacks, the northeastern slant-eyed chinks and the comparatively fairskinned hazel-eyed turkish rapebabies in the far north. i tried to trace my family's genealogy and my parents both seem to come from pakistan occupied punjab
>>18545356To be fair, it wouldn't be so strange if the Indians LARP as Harrapans you are more than half IVC, only some regions like Ror and Jat communities of Haryana and Punjab reach up to 35%. I don't know which region you are from, but you are probably majority Harrapan
>>18545456Yes, but if his family is from Punjab and even further north, he probably has 30+% steppe/Aryan ancestry. People from Punjab have more brown hair and less "AASI" features, although the original IVC was also Caucasian>>18545161Where are the chariots
I appreciate the enthusiastic responses. but we can read autism anywhere on 4chan.this thread is hindu chariot festivals.
>>18545463sometimes temple animals are used, but nowadays they're mostly pulled by devotees.because temple animals are expensive + welfare concerns.so maybe not a true chariot but close enough.
>Indians still carry the generational trauma of being crushed beneath the wheels of their vedic aryan conquerorslol, lmao
>>18545634I'm pretty sure evne before modernity most chariots were pushed by devotees. Which ngl makes the most sense to me, religiously.
>>18545246Kek. I had an Indian friend in school and he said that going to India was a traumatic experience for him. I can't imagine being a sentient person in that place.
>>18545246Odisha's state govt is heavily involved in organization and administration, but the funding is primarily from donations by temple goers.
>>18545668I lived in Mumbai. It was a gated society, but the worst place I regularly visited was the fish market. It was quite dank and dirty indoor area. But ironically also my most favorite, because there were stray kittens everywhere at the time.I used to get itchy all over after petting them, but they were irresistibly adorable.
>>18545710I like how barroque they look. Like temples on wheels.
>>18545747>temples on wheelsIt now occurs to me how bizarre and perhaps even out of place this practice is. What if mobile temples or religious icons go all the way back to Proto-Indo-Iranians or even Proto-Indo-Europeans?Let's think about this. They were nomadic pastoralists who created wagons very early to enable their lifestyle. What if their priestly class typically roamed around with an idol or something else with a religious function on top of a wagon?>>18545161
