Chariot Fest 2025 is around the corner, and ISKCON Toronto warmly invites you to be part of a beautiful journey of devotion, culture, and spiritual celebration!
🌸 Snan Yatra – The Sacred Bathing Festival
🗓️ This Sunday | June 29, 2025, 6 pm onwards
📍 ISKCON Toronto Temple | 243 Avenue Road
We joyfully begin the festivities with Snan Yatra, a deeply spiritual and joyous bathing ceremony of Lord Jagannatha, Lord Baladeva, and Subhadra Devi. The Lordships will be bathed with sacred substances like milk, yogurt, honey, ghee, and fragrant waters, accompanied by beautiful kirtan and offerings.
This traditional festival marks the beginning of a divine sequence:
After the Snan Yatra, the Deities traditionally enter a period of rest (Anavasara), and the altar remains closed for two weeks… until.
🚩 On the day of Chariot Fest, Lord Jagannatha reappears publicly on Yonge Street, offering His merciful darshan to thousands during the Grand Parade!
