About

About this event

The Sunderkand Path is performed in gratitude — after a wedding, a new home, a recovery, or simply at the turn of the month. Families gather, a sankalp is made in each name, and the five chapters of the katha are read together before the havan and aarti.  

This month’s katha is hosted at Sri Venkateswara Mandir in Westmead and is open to everyone. Seats are reserved rather than allocated, so arrive fifteen minutes before the sankalp to sit with your family. Prasad and breakfast follow in the hall.
