Preparing for temple pariharam. Some tips.

[Guest guest]

Dear members ,If you have been told to perform pariharam in temples then pls read on.1. First is to locate the nearest temple from your residence/hotel. The naadi reader also agrees that it does not matter which temple you have to do pariharam first. 2. It is best if you try to reach the temple at the earliest, you can enjoy the ambience and absorb the spiritual essence of the temple. Mostly the town temple will open by 5:30am.The temples situated in the villages will only be ready by 8:00am. Though the watchmanopens the temple by 6:00am sometimes it gets delayed. It is always better to travel to the town temple first and then to the village temple next.3. Normally you will told to light lamp and perform archana on lord ganapathy, lord shiva, goddess parvathy and the planet lord.4.The night before you perform the

pujas , buy all what is necessary for the pujasFor archana to one Lord you should have -a. Two banana each b. Flowers ( jasmine one lenght).c. Betel leaves.d. A packet of supari(betel nut).e.Camphor packets.f. A coconut.g. A clay lamp with cotton and oil. You could get all this from outside the temple itself, but suppose you are arriving early you will not find anyone to sell . 5. When you reach the temple you can start slowly lighting all the lamps. One by one. And always the first is Lord Ganapathy. 6. Pujari will perform the early morning aarti to the lords then he will be ready to begin the archanas.7. Pray intensely during the achana and sit in the temple for sometime before starting for the other temples. 8. If you wish to feed the poor people you can buy the food packets from the temple itself. But this is only available in town

temples and thats also after 10 am. There are also mini dhabhas which will sell idly , rice etc. Best is to make packets and distribute it fast. Some places like Suryanar koil, in hotels they give coupons to be distributed to poor.Just keep giving the packets and move, if you stop u will surrounded by a lot of them. Keep small money changes in hand also. 9. Some pujaris ask some fixed rate(100rs) to perform pujas and some dont. Be prepared.I request our members to add if i missed something.Best wishes,ms
