Host in Your City
A temple walks wherever hands are willing.
The Walking Temple does not need permission or infrastructure to exist in your city. It needs three things: a murti someone in your group actually loves, a small group willing to walk and to sing, and a route you know well enough to hold it with care.
What hosting looks like
- You choose a date, a route, and a time. Mornings are gentler on everyone.
- You gather the people: friends, family, neighbours, a bhajan circle you already belong to. Ten is plenty.
- You carry the murti, or ask a devotee to carry it. You sing the Name, in whatever tradition is yours.
- You walk quietly, without collecting money, without selling, without advertising.
- Afterwards, if you wish, you write a few lines and send photographs to be added to the Journal. This is how the record of the walk grows.
What hosting is not
There is no fee, no permission to grant, nothing to purchase. We do not ask the people who pause to follow us or to join us. And the day a walk becomes a performance is the day it stops being a walking temple.
Write to us first
If you are thinking of hosting a walk in your city, especially the first one, please write to us before you plan it. We will not send you a rulebook. We would simply like to listen, ask a few questions, and share what the first walks have taught us.
