Please join us for Devi Kumkum Archana and Lalita Sahasranama.

Kumkum Archana is a Hindu ritual where a red powder called Kumkum is offered to Mother Goddess as a form of worship. It’s believed to invoke blessings, remove obstacles, and attract positive energy.

Chanting Lalita Sahasranamam holds profound significance as it invokes the thousand names of the Divine Mother, Goddess Lalita, representing the ultimate feminine power and divine energy. Its recitation is believed to bestow spiritual upliftment, protection from negativity, and various worldly benefits.

51 ladies may sponsor the Archana.  Kumkum will be provided by the temple to sponsors, and they will be able to perform the Archana personally.

Sponsorship for the Kumkum Archana and Devi puja is $31/family.
