Whangamata 26th - 31st December 2009

Come together and enjoy the picturesque environment of the Coromandel Peninsula, surrounded by lush forests and the beautiful beaches of Whangamata. This years festival will be a family centred event, and a great way to enjoy the festive season in the association of Vaishnavas, for the pleasure of Their Lordships Jagannatha, Balarama, and Lady Subhadra.

Due to constraints on both physical and financial resources this years festival will be somewhat simpler, yet we still hope to serve you again as a friendly, family camp centered around Lord Jagannatha, chanting and feasting in the association of the Vaishnavas.
