About the Temple
For over 18 years, a beacon of devotion, service and Hindu heritage in the heart of London.
Who We Are
London Sree Ayyappan Temple
The London Sree Ayyappan Temple, affectionately known as “Harrow-Weald Mamani”, has been the spiritual heartbeat of the Hindu community across the United Kingdom and Europe since its founding.
Dedicated to Lord Ayyappa — Dharma Sastha, the son of Hari and Hara — the temple serves as a centre of traditional Hindu worship, Vedic rituals, and vibrant community life.
Each year, during the sacred Mandala Puja season, thousands of devotees undertake the Ayyappa Deeksha and visit the temple to receive the Lord's blessings before their pilgrimage to Sabarimala.
