Monthly Puja

On the first Sunday of each month, we come together to participate in a Puja for Lord Jagannath.  The Puja is held at the Austin Hindu Temple (AHT).  Typically there are a few families that sponsor the Puja.  The puja is well attended by the members of the community.

 

 

Rathayatra

In addition to the monthly Puja, the community celebrates Rathayatra, Bahuda Yatra and Devasnana Poornima.  Over the years, the celebration of Rathayatra has been a proud moment for the community members. 

In the year 2020, the community constructed a new Ratha. See the pictures here.

 

 

Saraswati Puja

Celebrated every spring, children of the community get an opportunity to know about the Goddess of knowledge. Children participate in activities such as drawing etc.
