Help Build New Chariots for Lord Jagannāth’s Ratha Yātrā!
For 25 years, the sacred chariots of Lord Jagannāth, Baladeva, and Subhadrā have carried their Lordships in the grand procession, blessing thousands of devotees. However, these chariots have aged and must now be replaced to preserve the grandeur of this sacred tradition.
To continue this glorious festival, we are building three new chariots, and we need your support! Our goal is to raise $100,000 to construct beautifully crafted chariots worthy of the Lord’s divine journey.
- The current chariots are 25 years old and need urgent replacement.
- Participate in a once-in-a-lifetime seva (service).
- Receive the blessings of Lord Jagannāth, the Lord of the Universe.
- Ensure that generations to come can witness and participate in Ratha Yatra
Donate today & be blessed by Lord Jagannāth!
To build three new chariots fot this sacred cause, we seek you support in raising
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.
