SPONSOR A BRICK FOR TEMPLE BUILDING
With full Planning Permission and Building Control Approval, we are working hard on completing the Temple Project within the next 6 months.
After the Moolasthana Foundation, the water tight building of Phase II has now been completed, and construction of internal gopurams are starting soon.
The total cost of the Project has now increased very much due to many reasons such as COVID, the Ukraine War, and Brexit.
Therefore, we humbly seek your URGENT generous financial support to complete the first traditional Hindu Temple in Milton Keynes by 2024.
At the moment, Poojas are held every Tuesday and Friday, 7pm—9.30pm, and we celebrate all major Hindu festivals. Please join us with your family and friends to show your kind support.
As a registered Charitable Trust, we foster Hinduism and aim to perform charitable deeds to people in their hour of need.
For more details and how to donate, please see the middle pages.
