Homas are a very powerful and meditative form of worship performed following the ancient Vedic tradition using Sankalpa (intention or resolve) to bring about a desired result and involves making offerings into a ceremonial fire in a specified way. During a Homa, powerful spiritual vibrations are created in the environment which work to remove negative influences in our life and help surround us with positive energy. This can bring peace of mind as well as material progress.
The Mahaganapathy Homa is a longer and more elaborate version of the Ganapathy Homa, offered at the deity Ganapathy (or Ganesha), making it a more effective puja.
In addition to registering for the Mahaganapathy or Ganapathy homas, you can also register for a Swayamvara (to find a suitable partner), and Navagraha (the nine planetary deities) homas. However, all are welcome to observe. Prices vary for each offering.
Onam is Kerala’s colorful harvest festival celebrating the yearly return of the great king Mahabali. The festival brings people together in joy and celebration. With vibrant pookalams (flower patterns), traditional feasts (sadya), and cultural festivities, we will capture the true spirit of unity and happiness on this day.
Please do wear any Indian traditional clothes you may have for this event!
Please register to confirm your participation by clicking the purple registration button. Even if you aren't taking part in any of the Homas, you'll still need to register to let us know you will be attending.
If you register for a Homa you will not need to register for ‘General Admission’.
We look forward to seeing you.
All are welcome
Entry is free, but registration is required
Lunch will be served, Kerala Lunch at £10 per person
