First major even so to say of our Sabha is the SILVER JUBLEE CELEBRATION. This break through of serving the pilgrims to Sholingur Hill Temples continuously for 25 years was possible by relentless efforts put on by dedicated and dynamic personalities like the then secretary Late T Ramaswamy Iyengar along with ever active members, Shri B Krishnaswamy, Late S Kasturi and Shri S Kannan. During the celebration the Sabha humbly offered Pattu Vastrams(Veshties and Sarees) to Lord Lakshmi Narasimha, Goddess Amirtha Valli Thayar and Lord Yoga Anjaneya and performed thirumanjanam to all three Deities followed by chakkarai pongal and thathiyodanam thaligai.

Right from the inception of the sabha, the well in the Vasantha Mandapam was the source of water for Thathiyaradanai. But water scarcity was surfacing. Getting Municipal water connection inside of Vasantha Mandapam was an alternative. Shri N C Kannan of USA readily came forward and bore the cost towards bringing Municipal Water Connection inside.

Year 2010 was our Sabha’s GOLDEN JUBILEE YEAR of service to provide food at the Vasantha Mandapam to the devotees who throng the two Hill Temples of Lord Sri Lakshminarasimha Swamy and Sri Yoga Anjaneya Swamy of Gadigachalam, (Kondapalayam – Sholinger – N A Dist.) on karthigai Saturdays and Sundays every Year.
