Book You Slot for Siva Sanchara Seva Program
      Join us in welcoming Lord Sri Siva (Sphatika/Crystal Linga) into your homes during the upcoming sacred month of Kartika with our SIVA SANCHARA SEVA program. For the entire event, sponsorship is priced at $151.00, and Priest Dakshina is entirely at your discretion, guided by your devotion, faith, and the strength of your belief.

This unique and innovative program, meticulously crafted by Sri Siva Kameswari Devasthanam, invites you to partake in Rudrabhishekam and Alankaram rituals, followed by Aarti. It offers a rare and special opportunity to perform Rudrabhishekam during the auspicious month of Kartika.

The central idea behind this initiative is to extend a warm invitation to the Lord into your homes, where you can seek His blessings. We encourage you to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience divine bliss and the presence of the Lord in your own sacred space. The entire process will take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, and we will conduct this ritual twice a day.

Priest reservations began on November 1st, 2024. To guarantee your spot, kindly make your reservation in advance, as prior booking is obligatory. We warmly invite you to embrace this sacred experience and transform your home into a haven of spiritual devotion during the holy month of Kartika.

For inquiries or to request this service, kindly reach out to us at
priest@sivakameswari.org As a token of Prasad, we offer Payasam/kheer.
