Ratha-yatra, or the Festival of Chariots, is a joyous event celebrated for thousands of years in the Indian holy city of Jagannatha Puri, and more recently in cities around the world such as streets of London, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and on New York's prestigious Fifth Avenue. Another name for Krishna, Jagannatha refers to the ecstatic form of the Lord with large eyes and rugged features who is carried on a gigantic chariot during this festival (and worshipped in an ancient temple at the centre of Jagannath Puri.)

This cultural, multicultural event will be held on Saturday 10 December 2022 from 10.30am to 4pm AWST at Forrest Place, Perth. Just register here to secure your attendance at this family friendly, free event. All activities and food is also free for everyone on the day. Do note this is an alcohol and smoke free event. There'll be parades around Forrest place, with an opportunity to pull the chariot at this festival filled with dance, Kirtan Meditation, Live Music performances, Vegan/Vegetarian food, Spiritual Books & Gift Shop*, Henna Art, Face Painting & more!
