DHANURMASA PUJA BEGINS - DECEMBER 16, 2019

 
 
 
Uttarayana then begins with Sankaranti. It is said that the uttarayana is equal to a day in the single day
of the deities  and dakshinayana is a night. As Dhanurmasa is the final month in dakshinayana, it occurs
just before the sunrise for the deities, it is considered as Brahma Muhurtam for deities. Worship during
the Brahma Muhurtam i.e. early morning before sunrise is very auspicious.

Dhanurmasa Puja is done in the Brahma Muhurtam and is a very auspicious time for the worship of
Shri Maha Vishnu. The worship comprises of the recitation of Sacred 'Tiruppavai', Offering of flowers
and the total surrender to Shri Maha Vishnu.

During this month, the 'Tiruppavai' is recited instead of the regular Suprabatham for Shri Maha Vishnu.
Tiruppavai (In Tamil, Tiru is sacred, Paavai is devotional vow or vrat) is the glorification of Shri Krishna
avatara of Shri Maha Vishnu. It comprises of 30 verses called 'Pasurams' and is composed by Andal or
Godha Devi - one of the twelve Azhwars i.e. Poet Saints. It is said that worshipping Shri Maha Vishnu
with devotion on a single day during auspicious period of Dhanurmasa is equal to 1000 years of worship.

This year Dhanurmasa begins on December 16 and ends on January 14. As in previous years we will
perform the Dhanurmasa Puja with full fervor at the Temple. The Puja time is chosen so you can attend
the puja and go to your work without any inconvenience. The daily Puja schedule is as below.
