HCCN organised a special Jagannath Puri Rath Yatra celebration that brought the community together in a spirit of devotion, culture and mutual respect. Supported by Monash City Council, the event highlighted the rich traditions of the Rath Yatra festival while creating a space for meaningful cultural exchange.

The program included cultural performances, devotional moments and community interaction, celebrating the significance of Lord Jagannath and the traditions associated with the Rath Yatra.

A unique and important part of the event was the meaningful dialogue with First Nations leaders, reflecting HCCN’s commitment to building understanding and respectful connections between cultures.

The event successfully brought together families, community members and leaders to celebrate culture, strengthen relationships and promote unity within the diverse Australian community.
