Welcome to Sri Somesvara Temple!

No buses allowed due to road damage from the hurricane.

Spring break is here and summer is just around the corner. Devotees have begun arriving for Darshan of Sri Somesvara, and we are in great need of Seva for our Somesvara Kitchen.

We invite you all to join hands in serving our community of devotees. Please check your calendars and let us know when you can visit beautiful Mount Soma. We look forward to the opportunity to host you, and for you to have Darshan of Mahadev while serving His devotees.

Thank you all for your help last year.

Due to space limitations during the weekend, only Rudrabhishekam sponsors are allowed to sit inside the temple during Abhishekam hours. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
