Devotion
Bakthi
To uphold the daily worship of Sri Kannagi Amman with reverence, discipline and the full traditions of Saiva agama — for the spiritual welfare of every devotee.
Our Vision
Devotion that serves the community
To be a temple where worship, learning and welfare meet — where every devotee is welcome and every act of seva returns to the village.
Mission Statement
A temple is more than a sanctum.
The Arangkavalar Sabai (Board of Trustees)holds that a temple's true measure is not the height of its gopuram, but the welfare of the families that live around it. The sanctum is where devotion begins — the village is where it lives.
Every decision taken by the Sabai — from how we build, to how we teach, to how we spend — is guided by four simple commitments.
Four Pillars
The commitments that shape every decision
Education
Kalvi
To teach Hindu Dharma, Tamil scripture and the classical fine arts to every child in the surrounding villages, freely and without distinction.
Welfare
Pannpaadu
To return a significant share of the temple's income to the community — through school and university scholarships, medical aid and free meals.
Preservation
Paramparyam
To preserve and pass on the rituals, festivals, music, dance and architecture that make the Tamil Saiva tradition of the Vavuniya region distinctive.
