Annadanam
Lunch Prasad is offered to the devotees every Sunday after aarti (at around 12:30 PM). It is a meal freshly prepared by our selfless volunteers and sponsored by devotees.
There are three ways in which members of the community can get involved in this program:-
1
Volunteering your time to help cook the offering.
-
2
Sponsoring Annadanam. It is a great way to celebrate birthdays, graduations, or any other special occasion in your life or to simply say thanks to God for the happiness in our lives. You will get the opportunity for a special Puja and you will receive recognition for being the sponsor for the prasad on that day.

Festivals
Throughout the year, HTW organizes festivals for its devotees and the community at large such as Diwali, Holi, Onam, and Ugadi. Many of the major events have exciting food provided by the kitchen volunteers. We have also had the honor of hosting some non-hindu community members and introducing them to various foods and tastes of India. We delight in building community and bringing people from all walks of life together through the experience of food!
Here is a glimpse of the dining experience during some of the festivals.
| January 1st | A mix of food from different regions of India is served. |
| Pongal / Sankranti | Typically, a sit-down lunch with the traditional festival food |
| Holi | Thousands of devotees visit the temple for Holi mela. There are multiple stalls from many regions of India- Dosa, masala vada, samosa, pani puri and jalebi are some of the favorites. This is an opportunity to taste a variety of food from different parts of India. |
