The auspicious religious ceremonies began early this morning at 7:00 AM with Vishvaksena Aradhana, invoking Lord Vishvaksena to remove all obstacles. The day commenced with Punyaha Vachanam (purification rites), Raksha Bandhanam (ritual wrist binding), Acharya and Ritvik varanam (honoring the priests and scholars), and Ankurarpanam (sowing of sacred seeds symbolizing growth and prosperity). With the sounds of mangala vaidyam (auspicious instrumental music), devotees were led into the Yagashala (sacrificial hall) in a ceremonious procession.

At 8:30 AM, the Agni Mathanam (churning of fire) and Agni Pratishtha (fire consecration) were conducted, followed by Murti Kumbha Sthapanam, invoking divinity into the ceremonial kalashas. The rituals continued with Moolamantra Murti Japa Homams (chanting and offerings to the primary deity), and parayana (recitation) of the sacred Srimad Ramayana.

By 9:30 AM, the Gramotsavam took place — the temple idols were taken around the village in a majestic procession, followed by the Poornaahuti, the final offering of the morning homams. The event concluded with Mangala Shasanam, Shattumurai (devotional songs), and Teertha Prasada Goshti (distribution of sanctified offerings).

From 6:00 PM onwards, evening rituals continued with Nitya Havan, more Japa Homams, and parayana. At 7:00 PM, rituals like Panchagavya Abhivasanam, Adhivasa Homams, Nitya Poornaahuti, and other concluding rituals were observed, maintaining spiritual intensity throughout the day.

Panchagavya Adhivasam (పంచగవ్యాధివాసము)

Panchagavya is a sacred mixture of five cow-derived substances: milk, curd, ghee, urine, and dung. In Panchagavya Adhivasam, the deities (murthis or kalashas) are ritually bathed and sanctified using this mixture. This rite symbolizes purification and energizing the divine idols using substances considered deeply sattvic and spiritually potent in Hindu tradition. It is believed to remove all negative energies and prepare the deity for upcoming consecrations.
