We are offering two options for active participation in the upcoming Nrsimha Festival. You may take advantage of either or both:
Sri Nrsimha Yagna @3:45pm
The sastra states no yagna is complete without daan (or giving). We therefore invite you to offer a minimum donation of R108 per person. Booking is essential and limited. Please book here.

You are invited to sponsor Lord Nrsimhadeva’s Maha Abhishek.
The cost is R508. Please book here.
