Pandit Tirumala was very professional. We had to arrange a short wedding ceremony for our son in Austin while we lived in New York. We talked to Pandit over the phone and he agreed to perform the ceremony within allotted time. We asked him to come for a rehearsal with a short notice and he did show up. The first photo is Pandit being picked up by an ATV as the wedding was held outdoor in a large ranch. He was very pleasant. The actual ceremony happened 2 days later. He came on time to the venue, and conducted the ceremony when his time came. The wedding setup was fairly simple and was arranged to accommodate 4 different religious ceremonies. He guided the Western audience by clapping at the right moment, like the pinnacle moment of adorning the thaali (gold necklace). He managed the time by reducing the number of phases in a typical wedding event. He is young and has strong voice in case the audio system turned out to be weak. We were delighted to have him conduct the ceremony for our son, and will recommend him without hesitation to any one.

Hi sorry, been a busy day at work. I want to let you know the puja performed was very well appreciated by all members of our family. Thanks for your prompt response and a devoted duty. We look forward to more opportunities in the future. Thanks, Sreedhar

We requested the priest services of Sri Narasimha Chary Tirumala for performing the wedding of our daughter in Lubbock, Texas. We are very glad to inform you that Narasimha Chary garu performed the ceremony very authentically according to the customs of Telugu families. There were a large number of Americans (Caucasian White Americans, including our son-in-law) in the audience. They had a wonderful exposition to our culture and they appreciated our customs and culture. They made a lot of positive comments about the Priest. Our relatives in India watched ceremony on-line and they were thrilled to witness such an authentic ceremony performed in the United States. Some of them commented that our ceremony was more authentic than they experience locally. Narasimha Chary garu was very punctual and performed the wedding ceremony in a very professional way. We are very fortunate have a such a learned priest in our Austin Hindu Temple and we commend the Temple administration for having a such a talented person. We thank the Austin Hindu Temple for facilitating the services of priests. We are also grateful to Tirumala garu for his patience, accommodation of our requests, and timely performance of ceremony.
