Giri Trading Agency Private Limited has inaugurated a new showroom in Kumbakonam, expanding its retail presence in one of Tamil Nadu’s most prominent temple towns. The showroom was opened in January 2026 as part of the company’s continued expansion in spiritually significant locations across the state.
The inaugural event was attended by religious dignitaries including Sabapathi Tambiran Swamigal, Adhipar of Thiruppanandal Kasi Mutt, and Sri Chendalankara Sampath Kumara Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamigal of Mannargudi. Their presence marked the formal opening of the showroom in the historic temple city.
As part of the inauguration, the company donated pure cow ghee to 21 temples in and around Kumbakonam. According to the organisers, the ghee will be used for daily poojas, deepa aradhanai, and prasadam preparation, supporting the continuation of regular temple rituals. The initiative also marked the launch of a programme titled “Giri to Society”, under which the company plans to provide essential materials and offerings to temples across Tamil Nadu.
Speaking on the occasion, Sabapathi Tambiran Swamigal said such initiatives help preserve sacred traditions through service, while Sri Chendalankara Sampath Kumara Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamigal stated that acts of devotion of this nature strengthen dharma and sustain temple culture.
The newly opened showroom offers a range of religious and cultural products, including brass, silver, and clay idols, items used for festivals and Golu, organic food products, wellness items, handicrafts, spiritual books and music, and traditional clothing. The store has been positioned as a central destination for devotees, particularly ahead of upcoming festive seasons in the region.
Company representatives stated that opening a showroom in Kumbakonam carried both responsibility and significance, given the city’s religious importance, and reiterated their commitment to serving temples and preserving India’s spiritual heritage.
Founded in 1951, GIRI operates more than 35 showrooms across several Indian states, including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Puducherry, Maharashtra, and Delhi, and also caters to customers in the USA, UK, Australia, and the UAE.
