Bhubaneswar, April 18 -- The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) has once again come under scrutiny for organising Rath Yatra celebrations outside the traditional schedule, triggering renewed discontent in Puri. The organisation is currently hosting grand Rath Yatra events in the United States and Australia, despite earlier objections from temple authorities and stakeholders.

According to reports, the celebrations are being held under different names abroad. In Dallas, Texas, the event is organised as the 'Festival of Joy', while in Brisbane, Australia, it is being conducted as the 'Festival of Chariot'. Both events are scheduled for April 18, with timings from 11 am to 9 pm in Dallas and 11 am to 3:30 pm in Brisbane...
