Dear Devotees:

We hope you and your family are in good spirits and healthy.
As COVID-19 continues to spread its ravages around the world, millions of lives are affected by serious illness, loss of life, economic disaster, social isolation, delayed education, and are left with despair and hopelessness. We need to step up and extend our support to let them know that we care.
In the past, Balaji Temple has organized fundraisers with your support to help victims of natural disasters like the Tsunami. In order to help and support the needy in our homeland and in our adopted motherland, we have started a ‘Covid Relief Fund’. Balaji Temple is proud to match your contributions up to a certain amount.
Please donate for this noble cause by clicking

Also, please share this information with your friends and family or even a quick mention to your social media contacts would help immensely.

The Funds raised will be used with care to directly reach the affected populations. This will enable us to provide the much needed aide and support in the form of financial help, buying PPEs, medicines, vaccines, and other related supplies to fight the deadly virus.

Thank you in anticipation of your generous help.
May Sri Padmavati sametha Lord Balaji’s blessings be with you and your families, always!!!
Please Stay safe and well.

Since music and dance are so interwoven with Hindu worship and rituals, the temples became the chosen centers for the presentation and nurturing of these arts and the artists.

While the experience was spiritually rewarding, the time and effort required to make the trip was making it difficult for many to have his darshan as often as their hearts desired.
