  This Pinkam is organized by our dancing class. This Dhanamaya Pinkama is done in the month of January before the start of the new year classes. Before we do this Dhanamaya Pinkama the class is painted and cleaned. The older students in the class participate in the class cleaning work and parents also help. This dhanamaya pinkama has been held every year for three years now. The monks are brought in by playing hevisi.  At the last dhanamaya pinkama, we offered a casket to the temple.🙏 Many children in the class will attend this day. It is hoped to hold this Dhanamaya Pinkama and receive blessings befor the start of classes.
