Dear friends,
We look forward to seeing you all at the Mela, 20th anniversary Reunion, and Rathayatra.

Special group rate at Raddison hotel
We have secured a $50 dollar per night group rate at the Raddison hotel at the LAX. We’ll make this hotel Kuli central for visitors. The rooms can also be shared which will bring down the costs further.
The location of the hotel is at the airport, which is also close to the temple: Raddison Group Rate information. We’ll have specific information soon.
We also have a group rate on Culver Hotel, $139 per night per room. It is walking distance to the temple, but a higher cost to the Raddison. Just contact us for the code.
**********************************************************************
Of course, there are other options:
There are many devotee families in the area, and using your contacts and connections to find accommodation is a tradition in LA, and generally works well, even for large numbers.
Other options include:
Hotels
Hostels
Group Rentals
We include information on all of them below.
On www.kulimela.com, we would hope to help people coordinate some new spaces to sleep during the event; so please register on the website.
The temple address is:
3764 Watseka Ave,. Los Angeles, California – 90034
We are also eager to help people find hotels, and if a large enough group wants to make a group booking at a hotel, then even better, and it may provide some discount potentials.
At the website people can also make comments to link up for a group booking below.
We have included a list of hotels below, as well as websites for renting a house, if you have a large enough group.
Hostels
If you’re willing to share a room and bunk up, the prices range from 15 dollars a night and up. Hostels can be clean, fun, and cheap if hotel prices are daunting. Here are two links.

Hotels
There are a lot of good hotel prices available right now. A good website for booking hotels is: www.priceline.com
A full list of nearbye hotels is posted at the end.
Group House Rentals
Please also view these websites if you are interested in a vacation house rental in Los Angeles, which may be worth considering since there are several options avaialble:
– www.vacationrentals.com/vacation-rentals/Los-Angeles-California.html
– www.cyberrentals.com/USA/California/Los-Angeles-County/r902.htm
Unfortunately there are no camping facilities. The temple parking lot is occupied and there are no grassy areas to camp. There are no parking spaces for campers other than Venice Boulevard, which has meters Monday-Saturday 8:00 am – 6:00 pm. Almost all of the festival is near the temple, and at a nearby park, but there are no facilities for camping there either. We are working on obtaining group discount rates for Culver Hotel and the Radisson Hotel in Culver City. We will publish the event code soon. We are also looking into other resources for house rentals for 1 week and for guests to call upon their own contacts to find room.
We hope that this information will help you ensure accommodation for yourself and your family. Most hotels listed have good facilities to take care of babies, toddlers, and older children.
We look forward to seeing you at KulimeLA 2009 – 20th Anniversary of the International Gurukul Reunions.
