Truth is one, wise express it differently
One of the most important pujas that devotees perform in a Hindu Temple. Archana is a special, personal, abbreviated puja done by temple pujaari in which the name, birth star and family lineage of a devotee are recited to invoke individual guidance and blessings.
Daily puja is offered to all deities in our temple. Shiva Abhishekam with Chanting of Sri Rudram and Puja to Sriman Narayana with Purusha Suktam and Satrumurai are the highlights.
Every afternoon and evening Aarti or waving of lighted lamps before the deities is done by the devotees. Devotees pray for universal welfare in a spirit of humility and gratitude and become immersed in Ishvara’s divine form.
Sewa (service) is important part of Hindu worship. Volunteers prepare Satvik food for Devotees every weekend in a hygienic environment.
