The pooja was conducted to the gods (Vinayaka, Saraswathi and Lakshmi) on the Vijayadhasami day traditionally constituting Sankalpam, Kalasa pooja, Archana, Aarathi and Prasadham. A qualified priest was flown in from the UK and there was excellent response from the community.

The Pooja was attended by about 225 people and the response from the devotees was highly positive. Many devotees were very keen and showed particular interest and support in establishing a Vinayaka temple in Ireland.

Feedback forms were provided to all devotees and the overall response from devotees on their support for the temple was overwhelming.

Subsequent to this pooja, an executive committee was formed and office bearers were elected for the post of President, Vice-President, Secretary, Joint secretary and Treasurer in order to achieve the goal of establishing a Vinayaka Temple in Ireland. It evolved since,  and we formed a Board of Directors and an Executive committee. Majority of the board members were also part of the executive committee. However the Board members are not involved in the day to day activities of the running of the temple and were consulted on major decisions.

Regular monthly poojas are being conducted from then on without any  break.

The main pooja is performed and then it is followed by Ashtothram, Aarathi, Archanas &  Prasadham. There are special poojas conducted on occassions when the monthly temple falls close to a major religious function.
