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 thefestival poojas where we have the archanas. Please note that archana will be recited forthe whole family by reciting SAHA KUTUMBAM instead of reciting allchildren/grandchildren's names.
