The Hare Krishna Ratha Yatra parade came through town yesterday as part of their Indian Festival Weekend, right here in Coconut Grove.

It got a late start, they called it "Miami Time," but it's well worth the wait to see the colorful dress and hear the music and see the dancing.

The parade started at the Krishna Temple at Day and Virginia, came down Virginia, turned onto Grand and made its way to Peacock Park, via McFarlane, for a festival for the rest of the day.
