The presiding deities, Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Sri Sri Radha Giridhari, and Jagannatha, Baladeva, and Subhadra, were all personally installed by Srila Prabhupada thirty-five years ago.


Each day the festivities, abhisekha, bhajans, and class, center on one of the sets of Deities. Friday the festival is centered on Gaura Nitai, Saturday; Jagannatha, Baladeva, and Subhadra, and Sunday; Sri Sri Radha Giridhari


Thousands of flowers are strung into beautiful garlands to decorate the altar and to make flower dresses for the Deities. Plates are filled with sweets and savories. Hundreds of devotees gather to sing and dance for the Lord. The main program begins at 4 pm and continues until 10 pm each day.
