Dhanur/Margazhi Month
Dec 16th - Jan 13th ![]() In Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna declared "masanam marga-sirso 'ham", meaning that of all months He is the month of Margazhi. This is the very month when Sri Andal has sung the famous "ThirupPaavai" and has fasted through the entire month.
On such a favorable month, it is highly recomemded that devotees do as much Hari Nama smaranam as possible. For this The Hanuman Mandir would be organizing month long programs for all devotees right in front of Lord Rama and Sri Hanuman starting from Dec 16th - Jan 13th @6:30PM.
