"Soorasamharam is observed in certain temples on November 18 evening"
Please let me know which temples would celebrate it on 18th evening. As Shasti is getting over early in the morning on 19th, Soorasamharam should be observed on 18th but none of the sources are doing it on 18th. Please help me.
Soorasamharam is observed at "Murugan Temple of North America", 6300 Princess Garden Parkway, Lanham, MD 20706 at 6pm on Nov18th.
The information i gave is for people in USA.
