Hindu women observe the Karwa Chauth fast to ensure wedded bliss and a long life for their husbands. The day long ritual of fasting without food or water dates back to Lord Shiva and Parvati when Shiva described the significance of the Karva Vrat. Lord Krishna also asked Draupadi to observe the fast so that through its influence Arjun could defeat the Kauravas.

Karva Chauth Vrat Katha poojas will start at the mandir in batches from 4:00 pm.

The Mandir will celebrate the Lord Shri Krishna Anna Koot/Govardhan Pooja to worship Mount Govardhan. Devotees stay awake the whole night and cook fifty-six different types of food to serve the miracle performed by Lord Krishna. This ceremony is also called Anna Koot which means a pile of food.

Devotees are requested to bring different prasad offerings. Please call the Mandir in advance if you are willing to bring item(s). Prasad/ lunch will be served after the Pooja/Bhajans.
