Nearly one year ago, a sacred Śiva Liṅgam arrived from Kanchi, India, to our temple home here in Virginia. While the Liṅgam is now installed, the accompanying Avudhaiyar (yoni base), weighing over 1,000 pounds, has remained outside due to its size and the need for professional movers.
We are now raising funds to hire movers to bring the Avudhaiyar inside and to acquire Prabhāvalīs (traditional temple arches) for Śiva Liṅgam, Gaṇapati, and Dhanvantari, completing their proper temple setting.
Our goal is to raise $3,000 to support the moving and installation of these sacred elements. We humbly invite your donations to help us complete this work in time for Mahā Śivarātri on February 14.
Your support helps honor tradition and deepen the sacred space of our temple. 🙏
