Dear devotees of Sriman narayana

 

For 7th year, Dhanur masa puja has been conducted at 5AM on weekdays and 8.30 AM

on weekends and holidays. The participation on weekdays is as good as in the

previous years inspite of bitter cold this year. Priests are also coming with

enthusiasm in the early hours to conduct the puja.

Traditionally in the temples, godhaa Kalyana utsavam will be celebrated on or

after Kudaraivalli day (27 th day) in Dhanur Masam. This year, godhA kalyanam

will be celebrated on Saturday, January 13, 2001 at Srinivasar temple,

Bridgewater,NJ at 4 PM.

 

There is a tradition in Srinivasar temple, Bridgewater that every year, one of

devotees (who attend the Dhanur masa puja regularly) will be nominated to play

the role of

SriVishnuchittan. He will bring the presents (seer) for Andal. The wedding will

be celebrated

in a traditional way with the procession with Seer, with description of the

greatness of SriRanganatha (Varan), Gothra pravaram, Exchange of garlands,

Thengai (coconut) uruttuthal with goshti reciting Vaaranamaayiram etc.
