Snan Yatra 2026
About
🌸 Hare Krishna! 🌸We warmly invite you and your family to join us for the auspicious celebration of Snan Yatra, the sacred bathing ceremony of Lord Jagannath, Lord Baladeva and Subhadra Devi.
📅 Saturday 20th June
🕐 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM
📍 Shelly Farm Community Centre, B90 4EH
The festival will include uplifting Kirtan, an inspiring class, the Snan Yatra Abhishek ceremony, and delicious Prasadam.
Snan Yatra also presents a rare opportunity to personally bathe Lord Jagannath and prepare offerings for Their Lordships. Offerings will be made after the Abhishek, so please bring any bhoga by 2:00 PM. Suitable offerings include sabjis, pakoras, sweets, rice, daal, chapatis, fruits, nuts and milk sweets.
As these are our temple Deities, please ensure offerings are prepared according to Vaisnava standards: be freshly bathed and wearing clean Vaisnava clothes, with hair tied back, and use utensils that have not been used for cooking meat, eggs, onion or garlic. Please bring offerings in foil containers.
Please do not use cheese, vinegar, soy sauce, soya beans, or shop-bought pasta/noodles (unless made from scratch).
This opportunity to cook for Lord Jagannath comes only twice a year, so we encourage everyone to take advantage of this special service.
