Japanese tourists are set to pull a small chariot on Chakratirtha Road in Puri for the third consecutive year.
The India-Japan Friendship Center (IJFC), a voluntary organization working for promotion of tourism link between India and Japan, has been organizing this chariot pulling event since 2011. Some officers of tourism department join the Japanese in promoting the festival.
