Kanda Shashti - Divine Spear Offering Festival 

DIVINE VEL OFFERING FESTIVAL 🙏🔱

As part of the sacred Kanda Sashti celebrations, Siva Vishnu Temple of Ottawa warmly invites all devotees to participate in the Divine Vel Offering Festival.

📅 Friday, November 13, 2026

🕔 5:00 PM – 8:30 PM

🌺 Why is the Vel offered?

The Vel, the divine spear of Lord Murugan, holds a special place in the Kanda Sashti observance. It commemorates the sacred occasion when Goddess Parashakti bestowed the powerful Vel upon Lord Murugan to vanquish Surapadman and restore Dharma.

The Vel is not merely a weapon; it symbolises divine wisdom that destroys ignorance, courage that overcomes fear, and the power of good to triumph over evil.

By offering the Vel with devotion, we seek Lord Murugan’s blessings to remove obstacles, overcome challenges, dispel negativity and guide our families towards wisdom, courage and righteousness.

Let us gather with faith and devotion to honour the Divine Vel and receive the abundant grace of Lord Sri Murugan.

Sponsorship opportunities for this Seva are available by calling or Whats-App

613-316-6245 for advance booking.

🙏 All devotees and families are welcome.

Vel Vel Muruga! Vetri Vel Muruga!
