Many devotees attended the Temple, in Hamilton to celebrate the anniversary of its opening and the installation of deities. A large number of devotees travelled from the Auckland, Radha Giridhari Temple, a two hour trip. A harinama in the City of Hamilton was arranged by Nanda Vraj from Auckland prior to the Temple festivities. A kirtana and a drama were also performed by the Auckland visiting devotees.

The guests to the Temple enjoyed the traditional ISKCON festivities and were very appreciative. They were also treated to a feast cooked by the Hamilton devotees.
