THIS EVENT RUNS AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS ACROSS CENTRAL NELSON. Meet at the Church Steps at the top of Trafalgar Street.
Free. No bookings required.

Join members of Nelson’s Indian community for a blessing procession through the city via Nelson Provincial Museum and Elma Turner Library with singing/dancing on the way, ending by sharing traditional refreshments at the Trafalgar Park Pavillion.

The procession celebrates prince Rama’s return to the kingdom after an exile of fourteen years. Overwhelmed by delight, the people of Ayodhya anxiously awaited his arrival, decorating the city with flowers, and bathing it in light.

Please join us to celebrate this event in our beautiful city.
