Priests, Yajamans, Sponsors, and Volunteers are invited to participate in-person for offering Archana/Puja. Please call Temple 740-369-0717 for sponsoring and scheduling puja. For Ganesh Mahotsava, Temple has installed a very beautiful Shri Ganesha murti in the Yagyashala. Volunteers have decorated the murti very elegantly that one must pay darshan. Shri Ganesh Puja will be performed in the Yagyashalla on all five days. Main shrine will also remain open for Darshan and Archana/Puja. Paalkhi seva for Shri Ganesha will be performed daily. If you have a clay (no acrylic or plastic) Ganesha’s Murti at home, please bring it to the Temple on Tuesday, September 14 between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM. Temple will do Visarajan on your behalf.
