About this gathering
The Festival of Chariots — one of the most significant and joyous festivals at ISKCON Bhubaneswar. Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Subhadra Devi ride beautifully decorated chariots as devotees pull the ropes with great enthusiasm, chanting and dancing along the way. During Ratha Yatra the Lord comes out of His temple to give darshan to everyone, including those who cannot come to Him — an act of His immense compassion and mercy.
Cultural programs, bhajans, dramas and discourses run through the day, and special prasadam is distributed to all participants. Everyone is welcome, regardless of background — come pull the Lord's chariot. Detailed timings will be announced by the temple (contact +91 93373 18403).
