Diwali – one of the most  auspicious  days in the Hindu  calendar  will  be  celebrated  with great devotion and splendor. On this day, business-owners close existing account books and open new ones in preparation for the year ahead. Devotees also take stock of their spiritual relationship with Bhagwan, and  consider any progress or regress they have made in the year  past. The ceremony, known as Chopda Pujan, will take place in the evening. Hundreds of new account books – in a variety  of paper and electronic forms – are sanctified through the showering of flowers petals and rice grains amid the chanting of Vedic hymns and prayers.

The  Hindu New Year is traditionally celebrated with the Annakut – literally meaning, a mountain of food.  Every year over 1,000 unique thals (vegetarian delicacies) are offered in devotional gratitude for the past year and to seek blessings for the New Year ahead. The Annakut offering includes hundreds of items of food, snacks, sweets, pickles, spicy dishes, salads, fruit drinks and other items devotionally prepared by devotees. We cordially invite you for darshan of the Grand Annakut with family and friends.
