Dear community members,
We are happy to let you know that we are organizing following events in addition to our regular weekly programs at the Heritage Centre at 3272 Jockvale:
- Pitru Pakshya and Mahalaya Amavasya on September 25, 2022 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
We are currently in the period of pitru pakshya (सोह्र श्राद्ध), the fortnight during which homage is paid to the ancestors. It ends on Sunday September 25th. If you would like to provide offerings (e.g., sidha, dakshina or tarpan) to your ancestors, you can do the same with the guidance of the Pandit jee. Please RSVP us by September 23 by replying to heritage@nepaliheritage.org, if you are interested. Please let us know if you have any questions in this regard.
If you would like to make a donation to the temple on this occasion in the memory of the ancestors, you can send an email transfer to treasurer@nepaliheritage.org.

Parking: Parking is available in front of the Centre as long as you do not obstruct the driveway so that at least one car can pass. Roadside parking along Jockvale is available but please do not park near the neighbor’s driveway. They need more space to pull in / pull away cars, as cars parked close to the driveway obstruct the view. Also additional parking is available at the market nearby (close to the Loblaw’s).
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
