On April 11th, the streets of historic downtown St. Augustine came alive as devotees gathered to celebrate the annual Festival of Chariots. This year, the celebration drew the largest crowd yet.
Later in the afternoon, the Harinam chanting party winds its way through the main shopping and dining street, as shop owners, tourists, and passersby clapped along, taking videos of the procession and chanting along with the devotees.
The dedication behind organizing this festival year after year is truly remarkable. The effort, time, and devotion required to bring Rathayatras to life reflect the deep commitment of the devotees who serve tirelessly to share this experience with others. Many thanks to Bhadra Das, Dharmaraj Das, and family for their tireless service bringing the Lord of the Universe to the masses!
