Hare Krishna!

Everyone is welcome to Rathayatra.

The procession assembles just inside Hyde Park – 500 yards (450m) west of Hyde Park Corner.

You will clearly spot three colorful carts as you approach. There will be three or four kirtan parties (singing and instrument sections) with each of the carts. There will be also groups of dancers. You can pull the ropes on the cart but please follow the instructions of stewards and staff.

The procession leaves Hyde Park promptly at mid-day and arrives at Trafalgar Square around 2.30pm. There the festival continues with a free vegetarian meal, free refreshments and more chanting and dancing.
