Hanuman is a very powerful and strong god. He finds an important place in the Ramayana. He was a devotee of Rama, a form (avatar) of Lord Vishnu, a god of Hindus. Hanuman is a figure of strength, perseverance and devotion. Hanuman is a Hindu god whose shape is half-monkey, half-human. He is the most devoted follower of Prince Rama, so he features a lot in the Ramayana as well as lots of other traditional Hindu stories and artworks. Hanuman has special powers and qualities that he uses to help Rama rescue his wife Sita.

Radha Krishna represents the unique uniquification of the Goddess - Gopi Radha & her idolized Lord Krishna, two highly esteemed deities in the Hindu Vaishnavi tradition. Goddess Radha is beleived to be an avatar of Goddess Lakshmi. Lord Krishna is worshipped as the eight avatar of Lord Vishnu. It is beleived that Krishna (the divine) can only be reached through Radha (devotion & love). Thus, Radha and Krishna do no exist, one without the other. They are one and only and are represente as Radha Krishna. To honor the deities, several festivals are celebrate through India, mostly during thr monsoon months of Shravan and Bhadrapad in the Hindu calendar (July through August per the Gregorian Calendar). Some of the significant ones are "Radha Ashtami"(birth of Goddess Radha), "Janmastami"(birth of Lord Krishna), and Jhukan Yatra (swing festival to celebrate Radha Krishna's pastime of swinging on a golden swing).

Lord Shiva is a principal deity of Hinduism and is widely worshipped throughout India and the world. He is associated with the paradoxical motifs of destruction abd regeneration. As per ancient Vedas, Lord Shiva is considered as the father of the complete universe. While his wife Goddess Parvathi is looked up as the mother of the universe. Therefore, together, they are considered as universal parents. The divine family of Lord Shiva, popularly known as Shiv Parivar, comprises of his wife Goddess Parvati, the two sons Lord Kartik and Lord Ganesha and Nandi, the celestial vehicle of Lord Shiva. Shiva Parivar Puja is performed in reverence t Lord Shiva and his family. Shiv Parivar is regarded as a symbol of peace, harmony and a happy family. It is beleived that praying to Lord Shiva in this form protects devotees from difficult situations and the devotee is blessed with family bliss and peace in life. Maha Shivratri is another major festival that is observed to worship Lord Shiva and seek his divine blessings.

Lord Rama is considered as the seventh avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. He is notably known for the slaying of the demon king Ravana, thus representing the victory of good over evil. Lord Rama is pictured as an ideal family man, with his wife Sita, brother Lakshman and devotee Hanuman who is sitting near Lord Rama's feet. They represent the perfect man, wife, brother and friend, thu forming the Shri Ram Darbar / Parivar. Goddess Sita, revered as an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi, reflects the embodiment of virtue, a devoted wife, and ideal of womanhood. Lakshman exemplpifies sacrifice for accompanying Lord Rama in exile. Hanuman, son of Hindu god of Wind, is a noble hero, a true friend and a great devotee of LLord Rama. Festivals such as Ram Navami, Diwali & Dusshera are celebrated to honor Lord Rama's innumerable actions of fulfilling one's pious duty or dharma.

Laxmi Narayan is the divine and inseparable pair of Lord Vishnu & Goddess Laxmi. Lord Narayana, also known as Vishnu, is one of the supreme gods of the Hindu panthcons. He is the god of protection and sustenance of the universe. Goddess Laxmi or Mahalaxmi is his divine wife. She is the Goddess of wealth, fortune and prosperity. Even though Lord Vishnu is beleived to sustain the entire earth, his "Shakti" or strength lies in Goddess Laxmi. Without the suspicious presence of Goddess Laxmi, he is poweless and so he is invoked with the name Laxmi - Narayana. Thus, the term "Laxmi Narayana" denotes the single divinity of Narayana with Laxmi and can be inferred as Laxmi's Narayan. Laxmi Narayan worship is a very popular form of puja and is performed during several auspicious occasions. It is performed for getting peace, happiness and bonding in one's home as well as success and prosperity in a business or place of work too.

Lord Jhulay Laal, meaning "The Lord of the Swing" is the prime deity (Ishta Dev) of the Sindhi community of India & Pakistan. He is believed to have been born during the 10th century A.D. in the province of Sindh (erstwhile known as the land of seven rivers). As per legends, the oppressesd Hindus tired of the atrocities of the then Turkish ruler prayed to Lord Varuna (lord of the river) incessantly for 40 days; thereby prompting Lord Jhulay Laal to commerce as the incarnations of Lord Varuna to save the Sindh dwellers and bestow peace to them. Even today, Jhulay Laal comtinues to be the unifying force & the centre of all cultural activities of the Sindhi community. When Sindhu men venture out to sea, womenfolk pray to him for their safe return by offering a traditional Sindhi offering. Folks in Sindhi community greet each other with the phrase, "Jhulay Laal Bera Hee Paar" (meaning Jhulay Laal will resolve all problems), thus signifying their immense faith and adoration for their community deity, Jhulay Laal. Jhulay Laal Jayanti (birthday of Jhulay Laal) is celebrated in the Hindu month of Chaitra & is also commemorated as the Sindhi New Year.

Our Temple’s motto has always been that the Devotee should only have the “WILL” to do the Dharmic activity and concern for the “BILL” should be the least. Due to this practice, many devotees have been developing guilt of short-paying for services. Based on increased demand, the Temple Management has decided to publish list of Suggested Donations for various Pooja Services offered.
