Why It Matters

A Sacred Char Dham Tradition in Plano

For many years, devotees in North Texas wished for a neighborhood temple in Plano to worship Shree Jagannatha Parivaar. The installation of the deities completed Shree Raghunath Temple as "Char Dham" — and our annual Ratha Yatra has since grown into one of the largest celebrations of its kind in the entire United States.

What To Experience

Festival Highlights

Devotees can experience the greatest cultural extravaganza — a vibrant celebration of color, sound and divine bhakti.

🛕 Tallest Chariot

The tallest chariot constructed for our deities in the entire United States — a sight to behold.

🚸 Mini Chariot

A miniature chariot specially constructed for our community kids, so the next generation can pull and enjoy our culture.

🌸 Pahandi

Devotees may participate in the divine procession as the Lord moves from sanctum to chariot.

👁️ Besa & Avatars

Witness the divine beauty of the Lord Jagannath Parivaar adorned in their sacred forms throughout the day.

🍛 Heavenly Mahaprasad

Mahaprasad is prepared by volunteer chefs and lovingly served to all devotees in the temple backhall.
