The Mela is an opportunity for families, community organisations, businesses and friends from across Kent & Medway to come together, celebrate our shared heritage and build stronger community connections.
🙏 Support the Kent Ayyappa Temple Fundraising Appeal
As part of our community presence, we are also inviting everyone to support the Kent Ayyappa Temple Trust Permanent Temple Fundraising Appeal.
We are working towards establishing a permanent temple and community centre for Lord Ayyappa and the wider Hindu community in Kent — a place for worship, cultural activities, education, community gatherings and service for generations to come.
Every contribution makes a difference.
Your support can help us build a lasting community space where future generations can:
🙏 Worship • 📚 Learn • 🎉 Celebrate • 🤝 Connect • ❤️ Serve
If you are able to support our fundraising appeal, we would be sincerely grateful.
❤️ Come for the Mela.
