The devotees pulled the massive chariot to the temple within the traditional ritual, when heavy wind and heavy rain made him lose his balance and crash on the ground. Last year, a similar incident occurred when the chariot was overthrown at the same festival, causing damage to a few parked vehicles, although in this case there were no reports of victims.
