Budapest\u2019s \u2018Ratha-yatra\u2019 Festival of Chariot returned to the streets of the capital on Sunday 11th July 2010. Budapest was illuminated by the wonderful colours and sounds of the annual Hare Krishna festival, a vibrant celebration of Indian culture and spirituality in our city.<\/p>\n

Thousands of festival-goers, pilgrims, and devotees from all over the world hand-pulled the 40-foot high colourful chariot carrying the sacred deities of Lord Jagannatha, Lady Subhadra and Lord Balarama from H\u0151s\u00f6k tere to V\u00f6r\u00f6marthy t\u00e9r. The giant chariot were accompanied by a procession of singers, musicians, and dancers. Among them were three ISKCON sannyasis. Budapest pulsated to Indian spiritual sounds with instruments from across the globe.
