Shri Jagannath Rath Yatra Sunday July 11 - Sunday July 18 Bharatiya Hindu Temple invites you, your family and friends for Shri Jagannath Ratha Yatra Celebration. The 8-day event from July 11 to July 18 is full of devotion, excitement, and joy. Actually, the Celebration began on June 26 with Snana Yatra. This is wonderful time to experience and teach our children about our rich culture and tradition. On Ratha Yatra day (Sunday, July 11), Shri Jagannathji comes out of His shrine to ride the Chariot (Ratha) and become part of devotees’ gathering. You get opportunities to pull Rath for a limited time due to epidemic situations. Please be at the Temple by 6.15 PM on Sunday, July 11. The Jagannath community and Temple recommends that you wear Face mask. As part of the celebration, Temple has organized Sandhya Puja/Bhajan every day from July 12 to July 17. Temple requests that you join us daily in the evening from July 12 to July 17. Temple has scheduled Puja, Bhajans, and sankirtan by many groups from 7 PM to 8:30 PM. The last day of the celebration is Sunday, July 18. Shri Jagannathji ride His Ratha to return to His Shrine. Devotees will pull Ratha to bring Him at the Temple shrine. So, we will have Rath pulling on this day too. Make sure you bring your friends and children.
