Free food service
Annadanam
Food offered to the Lord, shared with every devotee as prasadam
At our temple, every meal is prepared with devotion by our volunteers. The food is first offered to the Lord as naivedyam, and then served to all devotees as prasadam — free of charge, with love.
In our tradition, Annadanam — the gift of food — is honored as one of the greatest forms of daana. Sharing a meal blessed by the Lord nourishes both body and spirit, and brings our community together as one family.
