Sri Sivakameswari Temple warmly invites you and your family to celebrate the auspicious Parābhava Ugadi – the Vedic New Year, and the beginning of the sacred Vasanta Navaratri (Spring Navaratri) at the temple.

Let us together welcome the divine new year “Parābhava” with devotion, positivity, and spiritual renewal. Over the course of these nine sacred days, the temple will host a series of powerful rituals and celebrations dedicated to Divine Mother Durga and Lord Rama, creating a spiritually uplifting atmosphere for all devotees.

On the first day, Ugadi, devotees are warmly invited to join the Panchanga Sravanam by Brahma Sri Pundit Sarma Samavedula, where the traditional Vedic almanac for the year will be explained and zodiac-wise predictions for the year ahead will be shared, helping everyone begin the new year with spiritual insight and guidance.

Devotees will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of sacred rituals and spiritual programs including:

Nava Durga Alankarams | Daily Puja & Kumkumarchana | Chandi Parayana | Navavarana Puja (3 Days) | Durga Mata Ki Chowki | Chandi Homa | Devotional & Cultural Programs

The celebrations will culminate with the joyous observance of Sri Rama Janmotsav, followed by the divine Sri Sita Rama Kalyanotsav.

During these sacred nine days, the temple will also offer Nitya Annadana Seva (daily sacred food offering) for devotees, allowing everyone to partake in this blessed service and receive the grace of the Divine Mother.

Additionally, Archana services will be available throughout temple hours during all nine days, giving devotees the opportunity to offer prayers and seek divine blessings.

Come and experience the spiritual energy, divine grace, and festive joy that fills the temple during this sacred time. Bring your family and friends and be a part of these uplifting celebrations as we welcome the Vedic New Year and the arrival of Vasanta Navaratri together.

Let us gather in devotion and seek the blessings of Sri Sivakameswari and the Divine Mother for peace, prosperity, and spiritual growth in the year ahead.


पराभव उगादि शुभाशयाः। सर्वेभ्यः मङ्गलानि भवन्तु।
