Frequently Asked Questions

Special Important Announcement

Thank you to everyone who visits Sri Somesvara. Your donations are what keep the temple, parks, and buildings open and operating. As everyone who visits Mount Soma knows, it is much more than only a temple. It is a place where families can come and enjoy the mountains, vistas, parks and facilities. Maintenance of all that requires a great deal of expense. Keeping the grass cut in spring and summer, the roads plowed in winter, utilities operating, the facilities clean indoors and out, trash collection etc. all require a great deal of time, effort, and money.

In the past, an essential portion of funds was from the donations of those who dined in the Student Union building. However, with the occurrence of Covid 19 more and more people are bringing their own food. We are happy to support that. However we must ask that a donation be put in a Hundi box or with credit card for each individual bringing their own food to enjoy indoors or outside at Mount Soma. Those donations are needed for the temple and facilities to continue to be available for you to enjoy.

Thanks again for your kind support!
