Festival of Chariots returns to San Antonio's Woodlawn Lake Park on Saturday

One of the oldest street festivals in the world returns to San Antonio for the fourth consecutive year as local group Bliss House Meditation Center brings the Festival of Chariots — better known across the globe as Ratha Yatra — back to Woodlawn Lake Park. Translated as "chariot journey" in Sanskrit, the Ratha Yatra began in the eastern Indian city of Puri as a midsummer tribute to three local deities, who are paraded through the streets on specially constructed wooden chariots before returning to their temple home.
