Which Skandagiri temple, and how does its Kalyanam seva work?

Its Kalyana Utsavam is offered as an Arjitha Seva for a contribution of ₹2,500, and it can be booked either through the temple’s own official website or in person at the temple’s front-office Arjitha Seva counter, ideally at least one day in advance. Everything below is drawn from the temple’s official portal so you can plan your visit with confidence.
Skandagiri Subramanya Temple Kalyanam: the essentials
The Kalyana Utsavam (the ceremonial celestial wedding of the Lord) is one of the most sought-after sevas at this temple, and devotees from Secunderabad, Hyderabad and surrounding areas participate in it regularly. The temple lists it in its published Arjitha Seva schedule, and the contribution is stated as all-inclusive — the temple provides the materials and the sambhavana, so participants do not need to bring pooja items themselves. Wearing traditional attire is customary for those taking part.

Kalyanam seva timings
Arjitha sevas such as the Kalyana Utsavam are conducted according to the temple’s daily ritual schedule, which begins in the early morning. Because the exact slot can shift on festival days and special occasions, the most reliable approach is to confirm the current Kalyanam timing at the time of booking — either on the official website or at the front-office counter. The temple’s general darshan timings, published on its official portal, are as follows.
| Day | Morning | Evening |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday | 6:00 AM – 1:00 PM | 4:30 PM – 9:00 PM |
| Monday, Wednesday, Thursday | 6:00 AM – 11:00 AM | 4:30 PM – 9:00 PM |
| Tuesday | 5:30 AM – 12:00 noon | 3:00 PM – 9:00 PM |
| Friday & Saturday | 6:00 AM – 12:00 noon | 4:30 PM – 9:00 PM |
The temple notes that timings are extended on all festival days, and that during the month of Dhanur Masam the temple opens earlier, at around 4:30 AM. Tuesday is traditionally the most important day for Lord Subrahmanya, which is reflected in the temple’s longer Tuesday hours.
How to book the Kalyanam online (the safe way)
The temple accepts Arjitha Seva bookings through three official channels:
- Online: through the temple’s own official website, where the Arjitha Seva list and contributions are published. Bookings are generally taken at least one day in advance.
- At the temple counter: the front office accepts in-person Arjitha Seva bookings. Some sevas, such as Sri Chandi Homam, are accepted only in person at the temple office.
- By post/mail: accepted with roughly five days’ advance notice and payment by cheque.
Importantly, the temple has publicly clarified that it has not authorised any individual, agency or organisation to accept bookings on its behalf. To avoid any confusion or loss, use only the temple’s official website or its front-office counter. If you are ever unsure whether a channel is genuine, verify directly on the official portal before paying.
