Every year we provide a special meal and a new high quality cotton dhoti to young vedic pundits-in-training in the area around Kanchipuram. This year, thanks to the generosity of the yagya gorup participants, we were able to provide over 150 dhotis to the future pundits! In addition we arrange for a specially cooked meal to be served.
Our program began with a large patasala, and continued with a smaller facility, both in the Kanchipuram area.
Of course, we can't forget girls! Each young girl received a new dress, some bangles, a necklace, and flowers. As you can see, they were quite delighted with the occasion.
