Kumbabhishekam on 5th February 2020

The next Kumbhabhishegam of Suraikayur Mahasastha Ayyanar koil will be performed on Wednesday, 5th February 2020.  

Devotees will recall a blog post in March 2019 when it was stated that the event will be sometime in February 2020.  After consultations with scholars, the date for the event has been finalised.

The functions will commence on Monday, 3rd, continuing to Tuesday, 4th and culminating on Wednesday, 5th February 2020.

This advance intimation is given to enable devotees to make their travel plans well in time to assemble in large numbers.

We are hopeful that the devotees of Mahasastha Ayyanar will contribute their financial might.  While many have committed large sums of money, an event of this scale needs substantial resources.  A Kumbhabhishekam, which happens once in 12 years, is an opportunity to participate financially in the upkeep and maintenance of the temple and to seek the blessings of the Lord.  While no contribution can be considered small, given the costs involved and the limited number of devotees attached to the temple, no contribution can be considered big either.  So let us try to contribute generously, since the next opportunity to play our part will come only in 2032 when we shall be 12 years older!

A formal invitation will be circulated once it is drafted and printed.
