January 17, 2009  

This is the festival commemorating the pastime in which the residents of Vrindavana take Krishna, Balarama and Subhadra from Kurukshetra to Vrindavana in Mathura on chariots and is celebrated in Jagannatha Puri in all grandeur. Srila Prabhupada conducted the Ratha Yatra festival or the festival of chariots all over the world.

ISKCON Bangalore celebrates this festival by taking Sri Sri Krishna Balarama on the grand temple chariot which has a sliding canopy. The Sri Sri Krishna Balarama Deities come out of the temple and ride on Their chariot to bless the devotees. Thousands of devotees pull the chariot, offer their prayers and join in the kirtana and partake the prasadam being distributed, all along the route of the ratha yatra.
