Work Experience:
Sri Nagendra Babu is well-versed in both the Shaivite and Vishnavite traditions, and can perform Poojas at the temple as well as at private residences. He was a practicing priest, actively participating in temple events and private poojas in India when he was hired at our Temple. He started at our Temple on January 1, 2023, and began his tenure by conducting the New Year's Pooja at the Temple, and since then has been performing regular Priest servies. He has already conducted several private Poojas since his arrival. He recently did an outstanding job at the Shivarathri Pooja that our community greatly appreciated.
