Good morning, Dear Devotees

As requested by Loku Hamuduruwo, we have recreated the registration sheet for the Rainy Season Retreat (Vassa) 2026.
We understand that many devotees may have misunderstood the registration process or missed some of the event registrations. To make it easier for everyone, we have created four separate sheets. Please have a look and add your name to any of the sheets that you would like to participate in or contribute to:

Sheet 1 – Sponsorship Donations
Sheet 2 – Food Fair Orders
Sheet 3 – Weekly Pooja Representations
Sheet 4 – Atapirikara Donations for the Atavisi Pooja

Important: If you have already given your name to the temple but do not see it on this sheet, please update it with your information.

We kindly ask everyone to review the sheets and update them as needed to keep all information accurate and organized.
Thank you all for your kind support and generosity.
With Metta, 🙏
