Pournami Annadhanam on the Girivalam path
On every full moon, devotees walk the 14 km Girivalam path around Arunachala, many of them through the night. A hot meal along the way is a real help to a tired pilgrim.
You can sponsor that meal in your own name or in memory of someone you love. Pick Pournami, choose a menu and the number of devotees, and we serve on the next Pournami. You do not have to choose a date.
No date to pick
We serve on the next Pournami. Choose "Every Pournami" and we serve each month.
Clear pricing
Meals start at ₹40 per devotee. The total you see is the total you pay.
Proof of seva
We send photos on WhatsApp after the Annadhanam is served.
