Elephant mud bath

Lakshmi, our new temple elephant, enjoys a good scrub in the mud. It helps to keep her skin cool, moisturised and protects from insects.

SKANDA VALE IS CLOSED

Skanda Vale Ashram is now closed to the public until further notice, due to the coronavirus outbreak. The resident community will continue the daily programme of worship, care for the animals and maintain the ashram, but there is no public access to temples. We have now made it easier to get in touch if you have prayer requests for yourself, your family or someone you know.
