Siva Temple ushers in Tamil New Year (22/04/11)

The Stanger Siva Temple held a function at their temple hall on Thursday, 14 April 2011 to usher in the New Year. Tamil people from all over KwaDukuza turned up to celebrate this most auspicious occasion. The priest, Shri Guru Govindraj, began the service with a very spiritual prayer, also known as an invocation. Dancers of all age groups from “Seshnie’s Dance Academy” delighted all with their movement and exuberance on stage. The standout performance came from a young Tamil songstress in Kumentha Govender who enthralled all with her angelic voice. She displayed versatility and added a contemporary twist to normal Tamil music. The priest ended proceedings with an astrological forecast on 2011 and the final invocation. Delicious prasad (food that is blessed by special prayer) was served to the masses of people.
