Govinda Temple’s Ratha Yatra to Move Through the Streets of Las Vegas

For the first time, Las Vegas Sri Sri Radha Govinda Temple is arranging a professionally built, elegantly decorated chariot from the Los Angeles ISKCON Temple to ride through the streets of Las Vegas. This affords auspicious viewing of the deities to worshippers who miss the festivities at the Mandir/Temple. Please join the dedicated believers and worshippers for this important event with your family and friends.
Ratha yatra is observed by taking Hindu God deities of Jagannath, Baldev, and Subhadra in a procession through the streets in a chariot to celebrate life, culture, spirituality and showcase the kaleidoscope of Indian festivities.
- What: Sri Jagannatha Ratha Yatra by Sri Sri Radha Govinda Temple
- When: Saturday, September 28th @ beginning 4:00 PM
- Where: Starts and End at 8825 Escondido Street, Las Vegas, NV
- Cost: NONE. Donations Welcome.
The procession will be about 2.5 miles from Pebble & Escondido St. to Pollack St., winding through Wigwam, and back on Maryland to Pebble, with 30 minutes to spend at Desert Bloom Park. We will be given one lane by Clark County public works for this festival, along with the supervision of the Las Vegas metro police.
After the parade, join the attendees at the Mandir grounds for an exciting Mela (carnival), Kirtan (devotional songs), and to get a blessing by being a part of the concluding rituals of prayers and Maha Aarti followed by a Prasadam.
