All welcome at temple festivities

Helensburgh’s Hindu temple is inviting everyone to join in April’s celebrations

The Sri Venkateswara Temple is celebrating its 4th Re-Consecration Ceremony (known as the “Maha Kumbabhishekam”) in the span of the past four decades.

The five-day event will take place from April 5 to 10. The last day, the 10th, will feature festivities within the temple grounds and lots of activities, such as the playing of traditional music, dance by young and elder performers and a procession of decorated chariots/vehicles.

The temple will also provide Free Sumptuous Lunch between 12 noon and 2.30pm from April 7 to 10. (This is apart from the Canteen Menu which comes at a cost.)

The Helensburgh temple’s five-day event will culminate with a Fireworks Display that will take place for 8 to 10 minutes sometime between 6 and 7.30pm on Monday, April 10.

Maha Kumbabhishekam is on from April 5-10 at 1 Temple Rd. Contact: enquiry@svtsydney.org, 02 4214 9080 or www.svtsydney.org
