VASANTHA NAVARATHRIFriday, April 5 to Saturday, April 13, 2019
Navaratris are important festival days for Devi (the Divine Mother).

PANGUNI UTTIRAM DAYWednesday, March 20th, 2019
Panguni Uttiram (the day Uttaraphalguni star occurs in the solar month of Meena) is one of the rare festivals that have significance for several deities in our temple. It is the Jayanti (day of incarnation) of Lord Ayyappa, the day that Sri Valli married Lord Subramanya, the day that Goddess Mahalakshmi incarnated on earth from the ocean of milk, the day Goddess Parvathi in the form of Kamakshi (or Gowri) married Lord Siva in Kanchipuram. It is only fitting that we celebrate this festival in our temple with all the religious grandeur so that our congregation can receive the blessings of many Gods and Goddesses.

Vishu, Tamil & Tulu New Year(Vikaari Nama Samvatsara) Sunday, April 14, 2019Vishu signifies the entry of sun into Mesha Raasi and it is believed to bring good luck if one views auspicious things the first thing in the morning. Hence on this day in Kerala, homes are beautifully decorated and auspicious items are kept at the family altar. Tamil and Tulu New year are celebrated by worshiping the family deities, preparation of sweet and other delicacies and the reading of the Panchangam (Religious Almanac). The panchangam reading provides a list of all good and auspicious things as well as any adverse events that are likely to occur that year due to the transitory movements of planets as well as due to the presiding deity for the year. It is believed that listening to the panchangam reading will magnify the predicted good effects and mitigate the effect of adverse events. A unique feature of the celebration is the ARCHANA for all deities of our temple in sequence starting from 5:30 PM. 9:00 am Vishu Kani 9:30 am Mahaganapathi Homam 10:30 am Abhishekam to Ganesha 10:00 am Abhishekam to Siva & Anantapadmanabha, Ayyappa Puja 5:30 pm Starting time for Archana for all deities (Sarva Devata Harathi) 7:30 pm Panchanga Patanam & Prasadam Distribution Sponsorship: Ayyappa Puja or one Abhishekam $31; Sarva Devata Archana $35
