Devotees from the Bhakti Centre on the Gold Coast once again organised Lord Jagannatha’s Rathayatra festival at Broadwater Parklands, Southport, which is a popular family recreation park.

The parade went for about an hour and a half and that was followed by a festival onstage with many stalls in the surrounding area and of course wonderful prasadam for everyone.
