Climbing on chariots during Rath Yatra is a sin to devotees

[subhra]

Puri Gajapati and Shankaracharya Swami Nishchalananda said that Climbing on chariots during Rath Yatra is a sin to devotees. What is your opinion about this topic? Should the people Climb on chariots during Rath Yatra or not?

I think Puri Gajapati and Shankaracharya Swami Nishchalananda ji are talking the truth. In my view the devotees should not climb on the chariots. All should visit the lords by standing down. Thus the police also can control the large numbers of crowd easily.
