Chandan Yatra in Mayapur

Photos and text by Vrindavan Lila Devi Dasi

Posted June 27, 2005

Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Today, May 12, is the beginning of Chandan Yatra, when devotees cover the body of the Lord with chandan (sandalwood paste). Sri Madhava, Sri Nrsimhadeva, and Sri Prahlada Maharaja are covered completely, and the other Deities have chandan applied to the forehead.

Hare Krishna!

Your servant,
Vrindavan Lila Dasi
