Did you know that Bengal had several other old rath yatra traditions, besides that of ISKCON'S? The rath yatra of Mahesh in Serampore that started in the 14th century is said to be the oldest one after Puri's. You can also take a short trip around Bengal and check out the unique tarditions of the rath yatras of Guptipara, Rajbalhat, Mahishadal and Mayapur. Interestingly, there's also another Jagganath temple in Kolkata in  Khidderpore that takes its chariot around the city on rath.
