These families are from Los Angeles and Boston. Some of them know our good friend Janahan Balasingam who has performed special pujas for us in the past. The young lady in the middle just had her arangetram last week and took dance lessons from Janahan’s wife.

This is just one small group of over 100 visitors who flowed through the property today and it was not even a tour day!

Another group of divine souls who now know about Iraivan Temple, a little about our monks and our Parampara.
