As we have learned that during very busy days at the Mandir, the one shoe rack is insufficient and we need a second shoe rack near the emergency exit door to be built.

The Mandir requires additional storage space internally and externally. The plan is to have storage space for all cushions and chairs.

We aim to install permanent seating in the Mandir along the rear wall with comfortable cushions which can also double up as storage.

In the entrance porch, we plan to install an announcement board that will be more visible and more accessible than the current one inside the Mandir. This announcement board will have updates on all upcoming events and also allow devotees to connect with Mandir communities digitally.

We launched Seva garden in 2023 and it got a good start with few devotees planting flowers and looking after them. In 2024 we aim to change the front garden to make the entrance of the Mandir more welcoming and also remove waste bins from direct view by creating a purpose built parking space. There will be rendering of the visible walls, 2 raised beds on either side of the staircase with selection of evergreen and flowering plants that are low maintenance.

Our long term plans include to welcome new Deities to the altar where we will have Ganeshji, Durga Ji, Saraswati Ji, Narasimha Bhagwan, Kartikeya Maharaj and Hanuman ji. This will help bring the broader community together at the Mandir, which is one of our key principles to unite the Sanatan community in south London.

The Mandir does not employ a full time priest because our vision is that the community of devotees living around the Mandir will come and open the Mandir performing the arati, let guests in etc. So far the devotees from the congregation have covered most of morning and evening services. However, more volunteers are needed to assist with this rare seva opportunity to the Lordships.

• Establish a membership model to allow devotees to donate on a regular (monthly) basis.
• Fund raising and sponsorships towards the plans described above:
• Seek out corporate sponsorship and fund-raising opportunities.
• Add 2 more donation machines in the Mandir which can be single tap donations for devotees, simplifying the donation process for devotees further.
• Encourage recurring monthly donations via a standing order or direct debit
• Continue to encourage sponsorship for major items of capital expenditure
