ISKCON devotees gathered to welcome Thailand’s Prime Minister.

Last weekend, ISKCON devotees joined tens of thousands gathered in Bangkok and Pattaya, Thailand, for the annual Holi Festival celebrations. The two events are the result of a partnership between the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and the Indian Association of Thailand.

In Bangkok, the celebration was held at the expansive “centralwOrld” mall, one of the largest in the world. ISKCON devotees were invited to participate in the official kickoff event, where a joyful kirtan welcomed Mr. Srettha Thavisin, the Prime Minister of Thailand, as he arrived at the festivities.

Holi or “Color Festivals” are being hosted by ISKCON temples around the world as an inspiring form of outreach and collaboration with the larger communities in their areas. The Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah, may be the most iconic Holi Festival location, with the stunning temple as its backdrop. ISKCON devotees in Utah will be hosting their annual festival on Easter weekend, March 30-31. You can learn more about that event  here.
