The rath yatra started and ended with the distribution of their famous prasad comprising of simple rice, daal and khichdi. “The prasad is the God’s food given with his blessings to all devotees regardless whether they were a part of the yatra or not,” he said. “For some reason, even this prasad tastes much better here. In fact it is one of the primary focus of the festival,” said Kamala Amma, a resident of Dombivili, another participant.
