Rathotsav, or the Chariot Festival, is celebrated at the Mahalaxmi Temple in Kolhapur where the idol of Goddess Mahalaxmi (Ambabai) is placed on a beautifully decorated chariot (ratha) and taken through the streets in a grand Nagar Pradakshina (procession). Devotees offer flowers and prayers along the route, and the city lights up with spirituality and tradition.
