YOUR Responsibilities

Important Announcements

धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः (Dharmo Rakṣhati Rakṣhitaḥ)
(Dharma protects thoma)

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued devotion and support of our temple. To maintain the sanctity and purity of our sacred space, we kindly request your cooperation with the following guidelines:

Satwik Prasadam

Please Bring Satwik Prasadam Only: (vegetarian with no garlic or onion)

We understand that many devotees trust and partake in the prasadam offered within the temple, assuming it is strictly satwik.

Therefore, we request that all prasadam brought to the temple premises be strictly satwik, meaning vegetarian with no garlic or onion.

This ensures that the spiritual purity of the offerings is preserved for all.

This ensures that the spiritual purity of the offerings is preserved for all.



  • Strictly vegetarian prasadam
  • NO shoes in kitchen or inside temple
  • Respect/ensure spiritual purity for all

Parking Reminder

As we come together to celebrate the upcoming temple festival, we kindly remind everyone to strictly follow parking regulations in and around the temple premises.

Despite our repeated warnings, it is unfortunate that some vehicles received infringement notices from ACT Government authorities due to illegal parking. This not only causes inconvenience but also reflects poorly on our community gatherings.

Let’s uphold the spirit of the festival with mindfulness and respect for our surroundings. Your cooperation will help us maintain harmony and avoid unnecessary penalties.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

✅ Please ensure:

  • Park only in designated areas
  • Avoid blocking driveways, footpath and/or emergency access
  • Follow signage and local council guidelines
