About This Event
Sydney Murugan Temple marks Vijaya Thasami, the culmination of Navarathiri, on Wednesday 21 October 2026. The day opens with Meenachi Abishekam at 6:00 am. The temple's evening pooja follows at 6:30 pm, together with Vanni Vaalai Vettu.
The same day carries Vithiyarambam, the traditional initiation into learning on which children are formally started on their first letters, making it one of the busier family days in the temple's year. Wednesday 21 October also marks the start of Kethara Gowri Viratham and Shamivrisha Pooja; Kethara Gowri Viratham runs through to Monday 9 November.
Sydney Murugan Temple is a Saiva temple on the Great Western Highway at Mays Hill, near Parramatta.
