About Melkote Asram

Lord Thirunarayana dwells in Melkote, Karnataka State. Acharya Ramanuja of 1017 AD allowed down trodden people into the temple here only, to prove that all are equal before God. As he brought out the right essence of Vedic knowledge by his invaluable commentaries, this place is worshipped as ‘JNA:NA MANDAPA’ by the elite.

Every year during Phalguna month a special event called ‘Vairamudi Seva’ is conducted during which a dazzling diamonds-studded crown is adorned to Lord. Lakhs of people participate in this world famous event though it is a remote place.

MelkoteThirunarayana Perumal Aradhana Samithi, was started by Late HH Pedda Jeeyar Swamy in 1977 to serve Lord and the devotees. In this asram, free food is served to the piligrims. This service is going on for 38 years without any break. Enhancing its services systematically, a new building was constructed by HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji. SERVING HERE IS A REAL PREVILEGE.

Temples have stood for thousands of years as sacred spaces of refuge, community, and spiritual growth. They are places where people gather to seek solace in difficult times, celebrate life’s milestones, and connect with something greater than themselves. Without consistent support from the community, these irreplaceable sanctuaries cannot continue to serve the generations that will come after us.

The upkeep of a temple goes far beyond maintaining its physical structure. Your donation helps fund religious education programs, community outreach, cultural preservation, and the daily rituals that keep spiritual traditions alive. Every contribution — no matter how modest — plays a direct role in sustaining a living, breathing center of faith and belonging.

When you give to a temple, you are investing in more than a building. You are nurturing a community anchor that provides guidance, healing, and a sense of shared identity to countless individuals and families. It is one of the most meaningful ways to honor your values and ensure that sacred traditions endure for those who will walk through those doors long after us.
