<h1>Traditional arts revival energises festival in Silk City with chariot displays and storytelling attracting visitors.</h1> The Budhi Thakurani Yatra in Berhampur is a 25 day festival centered on traditional arts and chariot displays exhibited across the city to showcase local craftsmanship and community devotion. Distinct chariots-such as Boita Rath, Doli and Binchhana-and deity idols representing figures like Sri Ram and Jwalamukhi are displayed in neighbourhoods; many exhibits have decades long histories. Presentation requires artisan preparation, painting and illumination, with display costs funded by donations and local fundraising, while storytelling arts like the Sri Rama Leela painting sequence illustrate sustained cultural preservation practices.
