Dosha Parihara

The mandapam remembers the sky.

The reborn temple stands on a mandapam of twenty-seven pillars, one for each nakshatra, and holds a second mandapam for the twelve rasis. Here the afflictions written in one's stars are quietly set right.

Nakshatra Dosha Parihara

Twenty-seven pillars ring the mandapam, one consecrated to each nakshatra. For those born under an afflicted star, or passing through a difficult nakshatra dasha, the parihara is performed at the pillar of their birth-star, with archana and the abhisheka tirtha.

Rasi Dosha Parihara

A separate Rasi mandapam holds the twelve signs of the zodiac. For graha and rasi doshas (a hard Saturn, an unfavourable moon), the parihara is offered before one's own rasi, that the planets may turn kind.

Sri Vidya Hayagreeva, the deity of learning
Aksharabhyasam

A child's first letters, before the giver of learning.

With Sri Vidya Hayagreeva now installed (the horse-faced form of Vishnu, lord of vidya and clear speech), the temple performs Aksharabhyasam: the rite by which a young child first writes, the hand guided to trace in rice and on the slate. An auspicious beginning to a life of learning, especially favoured on Vijayadashami and Vasanta Panchami.

About Sri Vidya Hayagreeva
By the Temple's Veda Pandits

The great life-samskaras.

The Devasthanam's resident vaidikas, in the Pancharatra Agama way, perform the milestone shantis and the grand abhisheka.

Shashtipoorthi

At the completion of sixty years (the Ugraratha Shanti), a couple renews its bond and receives blessings for the years ahead, with homa, abhisheka and Maha Mangalarathi.

Bheemaratha Shanthi

At seventy years, the Bheemaratha Shanti is performed for long life and release from the fear of untimely death; fitting, where the Kalapurusha lies at the Swamy's feet.

Sahasra Kalasha Darshana

On great occasions the Swamy is bathed from a thousand consecrated kalashas (the Sahasra Kalasha abhisheka), a darshan of rare punya for the family that offers it.

To arrange a seva

Sankalpa & booking.

Sevas are arranged at the temple office between 7 and 11 AM, or write ahead and a vaidika will note your sankalpa and find the muhurta. There is no fixed fee; offerings are as your heart allows.
