Upcoming Event:

Aug 24th, 2025 Sri Ganesha Murti-making Workshop @ VVGC

Sri Vallaba Ganapathi Temple, San Martin

Create your own Ganesha Murti with clay!

As a tradition, Ganesha Murthi is handmade, worshiped, and immersed in wells, ponds, lakes, and rivers. Murtis made with natural clay are preferred over plaster of Paris. Chemical colors are extremely harmful to our environment. Let’s go green to save our environment!

Come and join us at the workshop! All are welcome! Children 8 and under will need parental assistance. All materials will be provided. Workshop is FREE!

Donations as cash or check are welcome to support such SEVA activities! (Checks can be made to VVGC)

Date: 24th August, Sunday

Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Venue: VVGC – 1355 Monterey Hwy, San Martin, CA 95046

Cultivate love for Lord Ganesha
Learn the art of murti making with clay

🪔 Temple Update and Urgent Appeal 🪔

We're very grateful to our supporters, donors, and community for making our temple a reality. Since its inception in 2012, we've invested over $10 million in developing our 13-acre prime property, featuring religious and commercial zoning.

However, we now face an urgent obligation to a lender who has supported us since day one. We've received a notice to pay off a debt of approximately $1 million. Given their long-standing partnership, we feel a strong commitment to fulfill this obligation.

We're humbly reaching out to our community for emergency fundraising support. Every contribution counts, and we welcome donations or loans with interest options. Your support will help us clear this debt and ensure the temple's continued growth and service.

Thank you for considering this appeal. 🙏
