Dhanurmas Pooja

Dec 17th 2023 (Sun) - Jan 14th 2024 (Sun)

(Mon - Fri at 6 am - 7:20 am CST )

During the Margsheersh month from Dec 17th to Jan 14th, we will be performing everyday pooja in the morning. Temple darshan open daily weekday between 6 am to 7:20 am CST.

On this special devotional month, the devotees get to wake up Lord Krishna in the serene early hours of the day by singing the 30 pasuras of Thiruppavai, offer bhog/naivedya, perform the puja and aarti to Lord Krishna and Goda devi.

Dhanurmasa / Marghasirsha / Margazhli is a favorite month for Sri Krishna. He himself has described this in Bhagavad Gita. This month has great spiritual significance which starts with Margashirsha shukla ekadasi (the eleventh day in the bright half of the lunar month of Margashira) and extends up to the end of dakshinayana.
