In the year 1989, a few days before the start of the Mandalam-Makaravilakku festival (that takes place across the globe every year in the winter months of November and December - which incidentally is the period when devotees voluntarily observe austerities and abstain from cardinal pleasures before undertaking their pilgrimage to the famous Sabarimala Temple on the Western Ghats of Kerala), a few devotees got together and organized a one-day puja including bhajans and annadaanam dedicated to The Almighty, All Merciful Lord Ayyappa in Rohini, then an upcoming sub city of the national capital. A similar Pooja, bhajan and annadanam were performed during the same period next year, and then onwards it became a regular event every year with participation of more and more devotees from Rohini and adjacent areas. Eventually, the idea for setting up of a temple with Lord Ayyappa as the main deity evolved and as a first step, a socio-cultural-religious-philanthropic society named "Sree Dharma Shasta Sewa Samajam, Rohini" was formed in accordance with the Registrar of Societies Act, 1860, with Shree V.R. Soman as its founder president.
