Daily Rituals & Sevas

Every day, the temple priests perform rituals in accordance with Agama Shastra and traditions of Shakthi temples. The sequence may vary slightly on festival days, but usually includes:

  • Every First Day: Prasadam Distribution & Annadanam
  • Suprabhata Seva (early morning prayers): Awakening the Goddess with Vedic chants, hymns, and offerings of flowers.
  • Abhishekam (holy bathing of the deity): Performed with water, milk, honey, sandalwood paste, and other sacred items, symbolizing purification and devotion.
  • Alankaram (decoration): The deity is adorned with fresh flowers, silk garments, and ornaments, radiating divine beauty.
  • Archana (individual offering of names): Devotees may participate by offering archana in their name or family’s name.
  • Deeparadhana / Aarti: The waving of sacred lamps is performed both in the morning and evening, accompanied by ringing bells and chanting, filling the temple with spiritual energy.
  • Prasadam Distribution: After puja, prasadam is blessed and shared with devotees, reinforcing the principle that food is divine (Annadata Sukhi Bhava).
