Another temple to celebrate Maha Shivaratri was the Shiva Temple Manchester, an initiative started by the South Indian community to keep the Shaiva branch of Hinduism alive in the UK. A traditional South Indian pooja (veneration) was accompanied by spiritual singing and bhajans, which were sung by a group of ladies from the Kannada Sangha North UK Bhajane Mandali, led by Hema Manjunath. The event, held at the Manchester Health Academy, was complete with a small dais set up for the Shiva pooja and Linga Abhishekam, adorned with vibrant decorations. The Shiva Temple Manchester’s event was also attended by the Mayor of Trafford, Cllr Chris Boyes, and his wife, who were welcomed in a traditional Indian way by gifting them a shawl and a thaali.
