A story of compassion
Once, a family new to Walthamstow, feeling lost and isolated, visited our temple. They were immediately embraced by our community, offered support, and guided through local resources. This is just one example of how Sri Karpaga Vinayagar Temple extends its values beyond worship, providing practical help and heartfelt compassion.
"A true sanctuary. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt a sense of peace and belonging. The community here is so welcoming and supportive."
