In-PersonAbout This Event
Sydney Murugan Temple at Mays Hill observes Deepavali on Sunday 8 November 2026 with Abishekam for Lord Murugan at 6:00 am. This is a morning ritual rather than an evening programme.
The temple's calendar places Deepavali on the amavasya of the Tamil month Aippasi, consistent with the 2026 Lakshmi Puja date. The following day, Monday 9 November, marks the end of Kethara Gowri Viratham together with Amavasai Viratham, with Meenachi Abishekam at 6:00 pm.
Sydney Murugan Temple is a Saiva temple on the Great Western Highway at Mays Hill, near Parramatta.
