30th Anniversary

30th Anniversary Fundraising Walk

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Akshaya Kshetram, we are hosting a charity walk arriving at our founder’s doorstep on Founders’ Day 2nd October 2026!

One Month, One Journey, One Purpose

We invite our supporters around the world to walk, jog, or run during September and collectively cover the distance from Oxford, UK - the current home of the founders’ family and the symbolic home of our diaspora supporters - to Tirupati, India: approximately 5,085 miles or 8,183 km!

We welcome everyone to join - indviduals and groups, any age and ability. Walk or run any route, any time, any distance.

Why We Walk

We are walking to raise awareness for mental health issues. The funds raised through this walk will support our residents’ therapies, medical care, and daily activities. This walk will also strengthen our AK community, inspiring each other and raising awareness of our work. With your help, we can ensure Akshaya Kshetram endures to provide love and support to our residents for the next 30 years!
