Lets Complete the Seva of Lord Jagannāth’s Ratha Yātrā Chariots
With the heartfelt support of devotees and well-wishers, new chariots for Lord Jagannāth, Lord Baladeva, and Subhadrā Devī were successfully constructed last year, replacing the older chariots that had served the festival for over 25 years.
These new chariots were built with improved design, strength, and safety, ensuring that Lord Jagannāth’s Ratha Yātrā can continue with magnificence and grandeur for many years to come.
🙏 We offer our sincere gratitude to all donors who contributed towards the chariots last year. Your seva has already borne fruit and continues to serve the Lord of the universe.

Completing the Chariot Seva
By the grace of Lord Jagannāth and the support of devotees, the new Ratha Yātrā chariots have been successfully constructed and are now in use. While a significant amount was raised last year, the final cost exceeded initial estimates due to unavoidable expenses such as materials, structural enhancements, shipping, and customs.
The total cost of the chariots is $150,000.
Current Progress
- Total cost: ~$150,000
- Amount raised: $100,000
- Balance remaining: $50,000
Amount Raised to Date (since 2025)

We sincerely thank all devotees who supported the chariot construction last year. Your generosity has already brought joy to Ratha Yātrā and blessings to many. Your contribution helps complete this offering responsibly and supports the continuity of Ratha Yātrā for generations to come.
🙏 Every contribution is an offering of devotion.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Ratha Yatra is a festival that originated in the city of Puri, in the eastern Indian state of Odisha. It is also known as the Festival of Chariots or the Car Festival. The festival celebrates the journey of Lord Jagannath, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, from his temple in Puri to the Gundicha Temple, which is about three kilometers away. Lord Jagannath is accompanied by his siblings, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra, on this journey.
The festival is celebrated annually in late June or early July, on the second day of the waxing phase of the moon in the month of Ashadha. It is one of the largest and most famous Hindu festivals in India and attracts millions of visitors from all over the country and the world.
Srila Prabhupada, the founder-acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), was instrumental in spreading the Ratha Yatra festival to cities all over the world. He showed that the festival is a means of sharing the message of Lord Jagannath and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita with people of all backgrounds and cultures.
Today, the Ratha Yatra festival is celebrated in cities all over the world, and it continues to be an important part of the ISKM tradition. The festival is an opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of India, and to experience the joy and beauty of devotion to God.
