where should the wife sit during religious rituals

[Guest guest]

Jai Shri Lakshmi Narayan

 

Swamiji

 

I have a doubt and request some clarification in this regard

recently we were fortunate enough to perform a vishwa shanti yagnam

in our local temple with the priest reciting "vishnu sahasra namam"

during the yagnam. I along with my wife performed the same. The doubt

is where should the woman and man sit when performing the religious

rituals. Should the husband sit in the right and wife inthe left? The

common explanation given is since in ardha naareeshawara nari is to

the left , woman should sit in the left, However for Sriman Narayan

there is no concept of left and right since both sides are occupied

by Sri Lakshmi and Sri Andal.

 

so in our case where should the wife sit? This is a very reoccuring

issue for us as when ever we are performing some religious rituals

this situation occurs.

 

Kindly enlighten us in this regard
