What does it take to preserve a centuries-old tradition thousands of kilometres from its birthplace? Jagannath Yatra, an annual procession honouring Lord Jagannath and rooted in community connection, is finding a new home in Sydney. As Australia’s Odia community grows, the event is helping preserve heritage, engage younger generations and strengthen cultural ties in multicultural Australia. In this podcast, we explore the story behind Sydney’s Jagannath Yatra and what it means for the community.
