February 17, 2002, pictures of Surat Temple opening.

Here are the pictures of Surat temple opening.

Shobha-yatra, pulling the Deities to the temple before the installation ceremony. The Deities were taken in a big cart, the same cart which is being used for Ratha-yatra every year.

The temple, along with the Guest House is situated on the bank of river Tapi, in a very beautiful and peaceful place.

(from left to right) Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai, Sri Sri Radha-Damodara, Sri Nathji, Sri Jagannath, Sri Baladev and Srimati Subhadra. The Deiteis of Sri Sri Radha-Damodara, Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra have moved into new temple, and Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai and Sri Nathji were installed on this auspicious occasion.

I hope this meets you well.

Your servant,

Sri Balaram das
