The Ratha Yatra Festival is one of the oldest and most beloved traditions in the Vaishnava tradition, dating back thousands of years in the holy city of Puri, India. ISKCON Sydney’s version brings the same spirit of celebration, inclusiveness, and devotion to Western Sydney, creating a space where music, movement, and mindfulness meet.
“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.
