sponsors (Yajmans) donate the amount indicated below, or more, for specific
ceremonies. Please pay the amount by a check made to Hindu Temple
and give it to the priest who performed the ceremony. If you choose to pay
cash, ask and get a proper receipt. The priest will give the money and copy of
the receipt to our Treasurer.

or request for Satyanarayana Puja in your family name on that day.

puja arrangements at least 4 days prior to the Sunday Puja, including supply of
prasad, fruits, flowers etc.1. Please arrive at the Temple 2 hours before the scheduled puja to facilitate Puja preparation.
