World Holy Name Festival 2026 Sankirtan report
ISKCON Ahmedabad, Ahmedabad
In their own words
Day 2 Update | WHNF Evening Program (18th Sep 2026)
Location: Bopal (TRP Mall Area)
Time: 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM
Attendance: 20 devotees
Experience:
A brand-new sankirtan route this year turned out to be an overwhelming success in congregation chanting!
Society
Ganesh Pandal: Over 30 children and 20+ elders eagerly joined in. What started with shy kids quickly turned into exuberant dancing and loud chanting—drawing residents to chant along from their windows and balconies!
Old Age Home: We visited an elder care home where 10–15 seniors were worshiping Ganesh Ji. As Harinam entered, they joyfully joined the kirtan, danced with devotion, and shared Ganesh Ji’s prasad with the devotees.
Both places warmly invited us to return regularly for kirtan.
The Bopal/TRP route was a grand, heartfelt success!
