2026 List of Festivals at the Temple

The temple will be celebrating the annual Sri Rudra Ekadashini Pooja on Saturday, May 2.

Sri Rudra Ekadashini is an auspicious event performed for the well-being, peace and prosperity of the community. The preparatory Pooja will start at 6:00 am in the morning. Sri Rudram chanting (chanted 121 times, with minimum 11 Ritwiks chanting 11 times) will commence at 8:30 a.m. and will conclude with the auspicious Vasordhara Havan and Aarti. This will be followed by Prasad (boxed) distribution at 1:00 pm.

Everyone will get a chance to do the Abhishekam to Lord Shiva.  Please visit with your family to receive the Lord’s blessings.

Humble request to all devotees: Please do not bring any open prasad like kheer, halva, rice or poha for distribution as we will not be able to distribute these as prasad.

Those wishing to help with the set-up & cleaning, please contact the temple or signup at the link given below.        Volunteer Sign-Up
