Reading Hindu Temple

Garba tickets are selling fast. We sold 15% of the tickets for day 1 in one night.

We were sold out last year, and we had many disappointed devotees. If you want to buy tickets, please come to the temple on Tuesday evening. You cam pay by cash or card.

Once the tickets are sold out, there will be no more available for purchase. 🙏🏻

Namaste Devotees,

Last week, Nepal experienced a deadly natural disaster that took more than 1000 lives, and 4200 people are still missing. Undoubtedly, people of Nepal are experiencing immense pain, loss, and suffering due to this tragedy.

Devotees of the Nepalese community routinely attend the Reading Hindu Temple. Hence, the Executive Committee has decided to launch a Nepal appeal for generating funds, and sincerely appeals to the entire Temple community, to contribute whatever you can over the next two weeks by using the following means:

Bank transfer by using the following account details:

Reading Hindu Centre,

Lloyds Bank,
Sort code: 30-91-31
Account Number: 04076038
Reference: Nepal appeal

Or pay by using a Card machine at the Temple (choose “Nepal appeal”)

Or by scanning the QR code:

There are many national and international organisations who have their presence in the UK and are already helping for this cause. The Executive Committee will donate the funds raised by this appeal to organisation(s), whose volunteers are working at the ground level in this disaster to help to save lives, and hence making a positive impact on the people of Nepal.

Namaste Devotees

We are delighted to share some wonderful news with you.

Following a recent inspection by the Health & Safety food inspector, our *Temple has been awarded a 5-star Food Hygiene Rating* in recognition of our excellent food management practices.

This achievement is a testament to the dedication, care and selfless seva of our cooking team and volunteers, who consistently uphold the highest standards of cleanliness, food safety and preparation. Their commitment has set a wonderful example of serving our community.

We extend our thanks to everyone involved for their efforts and dedication.

To help us maintain these standards, *we kindly ask all devotees not to bring home-cooked prasad for distribution in the temple*. We greatly appreciate your understanding and support in helping us continue to meet the highest food hygiene and safety standards.

🙏🏻
