These sacred centers serve as the heart of Sanatan Dharma in our village, fostering devotion, community, and service across generations.

It is a common place for community prayers, especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and promotes unity through devotional song.

This center embodies the principle of **Seva (Selfless Service)**, teaching devotees to view work and community contribution as a form of worship. It functions as a multipurpose hall, primarily hosting spiritual teachings (*pravachan*), group meditation, and coordinating charitable activities for the less fortunate in the village. It emphasizes spiritual guidance over ritual.

Vithal Rukmai Mandir
