History was made on July 27th, 2024, when the first-ever Slovak Rathayatra Festival was held at Freedom Square in Bratislava, Slovakia. In addition to the joyful procession through the heart of the city, a successful festival was held, sharing prasadam, spiritual literature, kirtan, and other cultural programs. The hundreds of local guests who gathered in the country’s capital also received information about the three Hare Krsna centers and restaurants in the country.

Devotees from the United States, Czech Republic, Austria, and other European countries joined the country’s devotees for over six hours of spiritual celebrations on Saturday. Follow Harimana Ruci for additional photos and inspirational harinama kirtana. To watch a video from the day, click here.
