Seattle Rathayatra Parade
→ Ramai Swami

The Seattle Rathayatra was held on the second day of the festival and started a few kilometers from the park. Their Lordships, Sri Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra rode majestically on Their chariot through the streets for two hours until They came back.

There was also a smaller Rathayatra cart in front and the kirtan was led by devotee children between ten and fifteen years of age. I started off the kirtan in front of the bigger cart and other devotees took over.

When Their Lordships were brought into the park I performed an arati ceremony and gave out maha-prasadam afterwards. Kirtana, dance and drama followed through the day and everyone was very ecstatic.
