Official Invitation from the Bhiwandi Temple Council
Hare Krishna! Dear Devotees & Well-wishers,
Please accept the blessings of Their Lordships Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva, Subhadra and Srila Prabhupada.
By the mercy of Lord Jagannath and Srila Prabhupada, we are organizing a grand Sri Jagannath Ratha Yatra on Friday, 24th July 2026.
The festival will commence at 12:00 PM with the inauguration of the Ratha Yatra. At 1:00 PM, Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra Maharani will come on the Ratha and the grand procession will begin at 2:00 PM.
The Ratha Yatra procession will start from Ayappa Temple and pass through Padma Nagar, Dhamankar Naka, BNN College, Varal Devi Circle, Chandan Baug, Peace Park and Fene Gaon — before culminating at Nirmay Vrindavan Garden.
A special 56-Bhoga Darshan, Aarti, Kirtan, Drama and Mahaprasadam Festival will be held from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
As stated in the Brahmanada Purana, anyone who takes darshan of the Lords' Ratha Yatra and stands up to welcome the Lord is instantly freed from all sins and at the end of life returns "Back to Godhead."

Know More
Jagannath Ratha Yatra is the sacred 'Festival of Chariots' in which Their Lordships Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra Maharani are brought out of the temple and pulled through the streets on beautifully decorated chariots, allowing every devotee — regardless of caste, creed or background — to have Their darshan and take part in pulling the ropes.
According to tradition, Lord Jagannath visits the Gundicha Temple each year to fulfill His promise to Queen Gundicha, making Ratha Yatra a festival of divine love and mercy.
Jagannath Ratha Yatra is celebrated every year during the month of Ashadha according to the Hindu lunar calendar. This year, Jagannath Ratha Yatra falls on 16 July. ISKCON Bhiwandi has organized its Rath Yatra on 24 July, inviting devotees and well-wishers to participate in the joyous festivities.
ISKCON organizes Jagannath Ratha Yatra festivals around the world, spreading the teachings of Lord Krishna through kirtan, prasadam distribution, and devotional service.
You can celebrate Jagannath Ratha Yatra by attending the festival, chanting the holy names, honoring prasadam, performing seva, and contributing to activities conducted during ISKCON Bhiwandi Ratha Yatra.
