Devotees wishing to make donations in cash to offset the cost of this prayer festival can do so via electronic transfer into our temple bank account as listed below.

Devotees wishing to sponsor the daily obeyums over the 10 day Kavady festival are encouraged to contact our Chairman, Mags Padayachee on +27 71 609 0620.

Donations in kind can be dropped off with Guru at the temple during the day.

Our temple is in need of:

• • Rice and
  • Oil (both cooking and lamp oil).

These items will be used during the kavady festival and surplus items will be used on our monthly annadhanum project.

The Kavady prayers will be live streamed via Zoom for devotees. The temple committee will constantly monitor the situation and should there be any change, the devotees will be informed via whatsapp notification and our website.

The donations we receive during our Thai Poosam kavady is crucial to fund the ongoing costs of the staff and maintenance in the temple.

Devotees are humbly requested to contribute to the temple if you are able to and this will be greatly appreciated.

Lastly, the coronavirus is our invisible enemy and is not yet over. We all need to  play our part in this world to reduce the spread of this pandemic.
