Question
The upper and lower halves of Bhaktapur, Nepal compete over one of these objects during Biska Jatra, an often-fatal new years’ festival. During a festival in the month of Ashadha (AA-shah-duh), people rush to touch ropes attached to these objects in the hopes of instantly attaining moksha. The Puranas describe the distinct colors of these objects belonging to each of the Navagraha (NUH-vuh-GRUH-huh). A massive temple complex at (*) Konark in Orissa was designed to resemble one of these objects belonging to Surya. In the Ratha Yatra (RUTH-uh-YAH-trah) festival local to Puri, idols of Jagannath and his family are loaded atop these objects. One of these objects is moved to provide a clearer view of the Kurukshetra battlefield at the start of the Bhagavad Gita. For 10 points, Krishna counsels Arjuna while operating what type of military vehicle? ■END■
