Two weeks before the Ratha-yātrā ceremony, Sri Jagannāth ji, Balabhadra ji and Subhadra ji are brought out of the altar and offered a grand bathing ceremony. The Skanda Purāna mentions that King Indradyumna arranged this ceremony when the Deities were first installed. After the bathing ceremony (snāna-yātrā), Lord Jagannātha apparently becomes sick. He is therefore moved to His private apartment, where no one can see Him until the Ratha-yātrā. Lord Chaitanya used to participate in the Snāna Yātrā festival.

Snāna Yātrā will be celebrated at ISKCON Berkeley (New Jagannātha Puri) on Sunday June 23, 2019 starting 3 p.m. followed by a feast. Take the opportunity to bathe Lord Jagannātha.

53rd Annual (2019) – Festival of the Chariots

Welcome to the 53^rd annual Festival of Chariots.  His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, organized the first Jagannātha Ratha-yātrā festival in 1967 in San Francisco.

Jagannātha means ‘Lord of the Universe’.  It is mentioned in the vedic literatures, rathe ca vamanam drstva punar janma na vidyate, “Simply by seeing the Lord on the chariot, one makes advancement for stopping the repetition of birth and death.”

Receive Lord Jagannātha’s Mercy!
