On August 2, 2026, thousands of devotees and visitors lined the streets of Santa Monica and Venice as ISKCON New Dvaraka celebrated the 50th annual Festival of the Chariots.
We hope that if you came, you relished the memories and made new ones with the devotees and the most beautiful Deities of Lord Jagannatha, Lord Baladeva and Subhadra Devi.
We’ve tried here to present a chronological presentation of the festival so that if you didn’t make it this year you may be inspired to come next year.
Tech note: in the bottom left corner, you can click and stop the slideshow. When you restart, you will hear the most beautiful Jagannath Ashtakam. Jai Jagannatha
