Sri Arunachala Annadhana Trust
Sri Arunachala Annadhana Trust is dedicated to serving devotees and communities through Annadhanam in Tiruvannamalai, educational support and compassionate social initiatives. Our work is guided by devotion, transparency and the belief that serving others is one of the greatest forms of worship.
Service with Purpose
Annadhanam on Girivala Path
Our primary objective is to conduct Annadhanam in Tiruvannamalai for devotees undertaking Girivalam during Full Moon days. This sacred service has now continued into its 11th year.
Free Tuition for Students
We provide free tuition to government-school students studying from Classes 6 to 9. Qualified teachers are engaged and remunerated by the Trust so that students can receive additional education without cost.
Service-Oriented Old-Age Home
We plan to establish an old-age home based on service rather than profit. Land has already been acquired and the development is planned as part of our future initiatives.
Transparency in Every Action
Guided by Faith and Accountability
Transparency is central to everything we do. We believe that every action is witnessed by the Divine and that every responsibility entrusted to us should therefore be carried out with honesty, accountability and devotion.
This spiritual belief guides the administration of Sri Arunachala Annadhana Trust and inspires us to serve devotees, students and communities with integrity.
Living for Ourselves is Simple. Living for Others is Greater.
We come into this world empty-handed and one day return the same way. Our time on earth is temporary, but the good we do for others can leave a lasting impact. Across religions and spiritual traditions, compassion and service remain universal values.
Hospitality and sharing food are deeply rooted in our way of life. Our sages have taught that feeding the hungry and supporting those in need are among the highest forms of charity. Wealth and opportunity may not be distributed equally, and those who are fortunate enough to have more can help those who have less.
A person with an empty stomach cannot easily focus on prayer, spirituality or personal well-being. This is why we believe Annadhanam is one of the most meaningful ways to serve humanity and express devotion to God.

Support Our Mission
Pournami Annadhanam in Tiruvannamalai
Every Full Moon or Pournami, thousands of devotees visit Tiruvannamalai to perform Girivalam around the sacred Arunachala Hill.
Sri Arunachala Annadhana Trust is committed to serving devotees through Pournami Annadhanam in Tiruvannamalai, providing wholesome food with love and devotion during these spiritually significant days.
Through our Annadhanam service on Girivala Path, Tiruvannamalai, we aim to provide nourishment, comfort and care to devotees undertaking their sacred Girivalam.
