Temple to observe Maha Khumba Abishekam prayer

The Maha Khumba Abishekam is a 52 day prayer observed by all members and devotees.

The Umbango Sri Siva Soobramanior Alayam (Umbango Temple) invites all to take part in the Maha Khumba Abishekam prayer from September 3 to October 26.

The main prayer will commence daily, twice a day, for five days, from September 3 until September 7 at 09:00 and 15:30.

The rest of the prayer will commence for 48 days with hawan, abishekam and service.

The Maha Khumba Abishekam is a 52 day prayer observed by members and devotees. “It is a sacred ceremony that takes place every 12 years and marks the spiritual rejuvenation and reconsecration of the temple and its deities. It is a powerful time for prayer, reflection and renewal – not only for the temple, but for the entire community of devotees who find guidance and blessings at the feet of Lord Murugan,” said Umbango Temple’s Cohen Pillay.
