Foodstalls
Want to have a market stall at the festival?
We would like to offer our visitors the celebration of a lifetime! With that we are aware that many would like to buy something that will either commemorate the festival or add to their experience! We are interested in Indian fashion, as well as jewellery, but also foodstuffs (ofcourse according to the Vaishnava standards – pure vegetarian). Would you like to join us in creating this experience while also being able to promote your own business? Contact us today to reserve a stall!
Sponsor Packages
Radhadesh is honored to host the biggest Janmastami festival in Western Europe, where we welcome pilgrims from all over the continent. Facilitating their spiritual journey and creating connections with different seekers. Over the past years we have had the pleasure of welcoming more than 3000 people a year for this particular festival.
One of the most important services is to provide the necessary funds for the festival to facilitate the spiritual seekers. Our Janmastami festival is entirely relied on the donations from well-wishing sponsors. For this reason we have created three donation packages which you can choose from.
