A Year of Devotion & Celebration

Festivals at the Temple

Why Celebrate With Us

What every festival here holds onto.

Kept the Traditional Way

Abhishekam, arati, kirtan and scripture reading — every celebration follows the same practice passed down through the lineage, nothing modernised for show.

A Meal for Everyone

Sanctified vegetarian prasadam is served free on every festival day. No one who comes through the doors leaves without eating.

Open to Anyone

Families, students, and first-time visitors celebrate side by side — whatever your background, you’re welcome at the festival.

Take Part

How to join a celebration.

Showing up for darshan and the feast is enough — no booking required for most festival days. If you’d like to go a step further, you can sponsor a piece of the celebration itself as a form of seva:

  • Sponsor the abhishekam or bhoga offering for a festival
  • Offer flowers or fresh garments for the deities
  • Light a ghee lamp during Kartik & Damodar month
  • Contribute toward the festival feast for all visitors
