“Ratha Yatra is not just a parade—it’s a moving temple, a celebration of love and unity. Whether you’re a spiritual seeker, a music lover, or simply curious about different cultures, there’s something truly uplifting here for everyone,” says Anant Vrindavan Das, spokesperson for ISKCON Sydney.
This year, with the backdrop of Liverpool’s diverse and growing community, the festival aims to create a deeper connection between tradition and modern life—offering attendees a moment to reflect, rejoice, and recharge.
