Aum Namo Narayanaya All 🙏🏻
I trust that you are all well, in good health and high spirits 🙏🏼
Our Annual Chariot Festival commences with the Flag Raising on Friday, 24 April 2026, and concludes with the Flag Lowering on Sunday, 03 May 2026.
The Thirukalyanam will be observed on Sunday, 26 April 2026, and the Chariot Procession will take place on Saturday, 02 May 2026.
As we approach these 10 sacred days in celebration of our beloved Lord Narayana, I pray that your hearts are filled with joy and devotion. This is indeed a blessed and auspicious time, bringing us together in unity to partake in prayers, rituals, and divine celebrations.
We humbly invite you and your families to join us in the various activities taking place over these days, or simply to spend time in the serene and uplifting spiritual atmosphere.
During this sacred period, the Temple humbly requires assistance with the cleaning and preparation of vegetables for the daily meals (prasadam).
We earnestly appeal to all who are available to kindly offer their seva and assist on a daily basis. Your time and effort in serving the Lord and the community will be deeply appreciated.
Details are as follows:
📍 Meet at the temple
⏰ Time: 08h30 daily
🔪 Please bring along your knives and potato peelers
Your continued support and participation truly make a meaningful difference and contribute to the success of our festival.
For devotees who wish to offer Varsa trays on Sunday morning for the Thirukalyanam, kindly note the following guidelines and suggestions:
It is not necessary for the trays to be wrapped as a Varsa.
You may bring your offerings on a tray with a banana leaf and arrange it at the temple, as the trays will not be covered.
Kindly ensure that only one type of item per tray is offered.
Fruits should be in even numbers.
Sweetmeats, sweets, and chocolates are not recommended, though offerings are entirely at your discretion.
Suggested offerings include:
Pineapple (without the green crown)
Grapes
Apples
Oranges
Any single type of fresh fruit
