The purpose of the Religious Committee (RC) is to facilitate the needs related to religious activities that happen at the temple. RC's vision is to better serve our temple community by planning ahead of the religious activities in an effective and collaborative manner.
Program or performance requests that require Religious Committee and/or Board approval are expected at least a few weeks ahead of its program date.
24 hours notice is requested for making announcements at the temple event. This is to allocate sufficient time and preparation for your announcements. Thank you.

As you may know, your annual membership dues are an essential part of operating budget of the temple. Without your membership support, the temple cannot provide ongoing services for everyone. Annual membership dues pay for one calendar year. Please support the temple by mailing a check ($150 for Family Membership; $75 for Single Membership) to temple address below for your annual tax-deductible membership for 2026, as well as donation in any amount to take advantage of possible year-end income-tax deductions. You can also pay membership dues and/or donations to the temple via Paypal by signing on to your Paypal account and sending payment to IACCT@KalamazooTemple.Org or you can pay the payment through the paypal link below.

You can offer Archana for whole year by signing up and donating $201 at one time. Panditji will recite archana for you and seek blessings for the whole family, even if you are not present. Please provide your name with your gotra, if known, along with $201 to Panditji or at the front desk, and we will provide the information to Panditji ahead of the festival poojas where we have the archanas. Please note that archana will be recited for the whole family by reciting SAHA KUTUMBAM instead of reciting all children/grandchildren's names. This change will allow temple functions to end at reasonable hours. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

The main events where we have archana at the temple are - New Years Day pooja, Makar Sankranti, MahaShivaratri, Ugadi/Gudhi Padwa, Rama Navami, Ganesh Chaturthi, Anant Chaturdashi, Vijaya Dashmi (Dushehra), Mahalakshmi Pooja at Diwali and possibly other events. Please call Panditji (269-274-6517) to participate in Annual Archana. You can also pay through paypal link below.
