Questions

What is the Annual Fundraiser?

A signature event that brings the community together for an evening of cultural entertainment and collective giving. It is an opportunity for devotees to participate, enjoy music and fellowship, and contribute toward supporting the temple's financial needs.

Why does the temple need a fundraiser?

Monthly donations cover routine expenses but leave very little margin for maintenance or improvements. The Annual Fundraiser generates additional support to strengthen the temple's finances and fund projects that enhance the devotee experience.

How will the funds be used?

Funds raised, net of expenses, go toward capital projects such as the Dining Hall construction, contingency reserves, and maintenance and improvements. All financial decisions are made by the Management Committee in accordance with temple bylaws, with full transparency to the community.

Are the artists performing free of cost?

No. The artists are travelling exclusively to perform for our temple and charge a professional fee for their performances.

Can we bring children?

Children over 2 years of age require a pass. Children under 2 may attend free of charge but must be seated on a parent's lap. Babysitting is not provided — parents are responsible for supervising their children throughout the event.

Is there a dress code?

Yes. Attendees are expected to dress appropriately, maintaining the decorum of a temple event.

Can we sing along with the artists?

For the comfort of the artists and to maintain sound quality, attendees are not able to sing along on stage. Audience participation through clapping and cheering is very much encouraged.

In what languages will the artists perform?

The performance will include a balanced mix of Indian languages, guided by the audience composition and pass purchases.

Can we bring outside food? Is transport provided?

Outside food is not permitted, but refreshments will be available for purchase and can be enjoyed in the designated dining areas. Transport is not provided — attendees arrange their own travel to and from the venue.
