With the grace of Lord Ayyappa we are ready to begin this year's Mandalam season on Nov 15th. We invite you, your family, and your friends to come participate in the planned devotional activities and receive the grace of Lord Ayyappa.

Mala Dharana will be conducted at the various temples in the bay area on the dates indicated below. If you would like to wear Mala on other dates, please send an email to ayyappasamaaj@gmail.com.
