Skandagiri Temple Abhishekam Online Booking Subramanya

Shiva Venkateswara Sharma Aug 23, 2022 Updated Jul 6, 2026 5 min read

Yes — daily Abhishekam at the Skandagiri Sri Subrahmanyaswamy Devalayam in Secunderabad can be booked online through the temple’s own official portal, srisubrahmanyaswamydevalayamskandagiri.org. Abhishekam is performed for Lord Subramanya Swamy every day of the week, and because seva slots are limited and fill quickly on weekends and festival days, the temple encourages devotees to reserve a slot in advance rather than depend on same-day counter availability. This guide explains the temple, the Abhishekam timing and cost, how the official online booking works, and the wider darshan schedule, using details published on the temple’s own website and other reputable temple references.

About the Skandagiri Subramanya Swamy Temple, Secunderabad

The Sri Subrahmanyaswamy Devalayam sits on the small Skandagiri hillock at Kamakoti Nagar, Padmarao Nagar, Secunderabad — behind Gandhi Hospital, Warasiguda (PIN 500061), Telangana. The presiding deity is Lord Subramanya Swamy (Kartikeya / Murugan), the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, worshipped here as the commander of the divine forces and remover of obstacles. The hill lends the temple its popular name, “Skandagiri” — the hill of Skanda.

The temple was established in the late 1960s and was consecrated under the spiritual guidance of the Kanchi Paramacharya, Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swamigal. Over the decades it has grown into one of the most visited Murugan shrines in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, especially popular for its Rahu-Ketu Sarpa Dosha remedies and daily Abhishekam. The shrine is administered by a managing trust, and its administrative and front offices handle seva scheduling.

Skandagiri Abhishekam — timing, days and cost

Abhishekam (the ceremonial bathing of the deity with sacred substances) is one of the temple’s most sought-after sevas and is conducted daily, all seven days of the week. The principal Abhishekam is performed in the morning, around 8:30 AM; several temple references also note an evening Abhishekam. Devotees who book the seva may be seated to witness the ritual, after which they receive prasadam and theertham.

Approximate costAbout Rs. 500–600 per ticket (confirm the current rate on the official portal)
BookingOnline via the official temple website, or at the temple counter subject to availability

A note on the fee: published seva rates for the Abhishekam differ across sources and dates — some list Rs. 500 and others Rs. 600 — and temple charges are revised from time to time. Treat the figure above as indicative and confirm the exact, current price on the official booking page before you pay. The temple offers a wide range of other arjitha sevas as well, from a modest Sahasranama Archana to major Homams, with prices that scale accordingly; these too are listed on the official site.

How the official online booking works

The temple runs its own booking system on srisubrahmanyaswamydevalayamskandagiri.org. Booking a seva online generally follows these steps:

  • Open the official temple website and go to the sevas / online-booking section.
  • Select Abhishekam from the list of available sevas.
  • Choose your preferred date and, where offered, a time slot.
  • Enter the details of the devotee(s) in whose name the seva is to be performed (name and gotra are usually requested).
  • Complete the payment using the online options provided; on success you receive a confirmation / receipt to carry to the temple.

Booking ahead is sensible because Abhishekam and darshan slots are limited and can be exhausted at the counter, particularly on weekends, Sashti, Krittika star days and festival occasions, when the crowd is heavy. You do not need to bring anything for the seva itself; if you wish, you may carry your own pooja items. For the definitive process, seva list and rates, always rely on the official portal rather than any third-party page.
