Community & Development
How your offerings help build a better future for local communities
Temple as Community Anchor
Supa Deurali Temple is more than a place of worship—it's a vital community institution that channels spiritual devotion into tangible social benefit. The temple operates on a unique principle: all offerings collected from devotees are reinvested locally to support education, infrastructure, and community development.
Financial Transparency
Annual Offerings: Approximately NPR 15 million (1.5 crore)
Sources: Cash donations, gold jewelry, bhakal offerings, festival collections
Usage: 100% allocated to local schools, infrastructure, and community projects
Management: Overseen by a large committee of local residents
Community-Led Governance
The temple is governed by a committee comprising hundreds of local villagers who volunteer their time. This grassroots management ensures that the temple remains accountable to the community it serves. Residents take turns as caretakers, guides, and organizers of festivals and projects.
Education Support
One of the most impactful uses of temple funds is supporting local education. The temple's offerings currently sustain two schools in nearby villages, ensuring that children in this mountain region have access to quality education.
