RATHA, The Grand Chariot Insights

Approximate 36-38foot tall, almost one of the biggest Rath on wooden structure in US is constructed/assembled each year. This Ratha/ Chariot is decorated beautifully to give a grand ride for Mahaprabhu Jagannath Parivar. Beautiful red and yellow color canopy is installed on the top.

This Ratha was built in the Shree Raghunath Temple premises with the help of many enthusiastic volunteers.

Initially in 2019, a smaller size Ratha was constructed. Storage area was built inside the temple premises to store the Ratha.

In 2021, Shree Raghunath Temple Management decided to further expand the width of the Ratha to make it more spacious and wider so as to allow the devotees to be able to do parikrama around the dieties. The Ratha is decorated with beautiful artwork by various talented Adult & kids artists from Dallas.

CULTURAL PROGRAM

Many Devotees join to watch the bhajan programs in Shree Raghunath Temple Main Hall during the event and witness the awesome performances by talented bhajan artists in Dallas.
