TAMIL NEW YEAR & VISHU KANI - April 14TH, TUESDAY
Tamil New Year (PARABHAVA Varusha Pirappu) and Malayalam New Year (Vishu Kani)
The first day of the month of Chitra is observed as the beginning of the solar New Year, marked by the sun’s transit into the first zodiac sign, Mesha. This year is known as Parabhava Varusham.
The New Year begins with Vishu Kani—the auspicious arrangement meant to be the first sight of the day. It traditionally includes gold, silver, betel leaves, fruits, flowers, a mirror, and an idol of Lord Krishna. Festive celebrations also feature special dishes, most notably Mango Pachadi, which symbolizes the balance of life’s emotions through its harmonious blend of all flavors.

SRI NARASIMHA SWAMY JAYANTHI – APRIL 29TH 2026 WEDNESDAY
Dear Devotees:
We would like to inform you all that we are celebrating Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swami Jayanti at our temple. Narasimha Jayanthi is observed on the fourteenth day in the bright fortnight of Vaishakha month (Vaisakha Shukla Chaturdasi). This festival is celebrated with utmost gaiety in all Vishnu temples around the world and especially Narasimha temples host great celebrations. It is believed that Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of Narasimha on this day to destroy demon Hiranyakashipu. The main aim of the Narasimha incarnation was to end the tyranny of Hiranyakashipu and restore the path of Dharma. Prahlada, the youngest son of Hiranyakashipu and an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu paved the way for the removal of Adharma.
Lakshmi Narasimha Homam/ Havan is being performed to get relief from debts and to attain good health, wealth and for speedy recovery from illness.
Feel free to contact our priest or any board member to participate in Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swami Havan and Abhishekam.
