People participate in this homam for the well being of their family and for themselves.
Though these pujas are organised by the trust, we receive funds from the people in the form of donations for our homams which helps us to carry out the pujas efficiently every year.” Sri Maha Chandi Homam is performed daily between evening 5 pm and 8.30 pm.
