About

Amavasya, the New Moon day, is a sacred occasion for introspection, purification, and sincere prayer. It symbolizes the removal of darkness and the awakening of inner light through devotion and divine grace. In the Hindu tradition, Amavasya is also considered an auspicious day to offer gratitude to one's ancestors (Pitru Devatas), seek forgiveness for past mistakes, and pray for the well-being of the family. Worship performed on this day is believed to help remove obstacles, negative influences, and mental unrest while inviting peace and spiritual strength.

At Sri Samrajya Lakshmi Temple, Amavasya Puja is observed with deep devotion through special Archana, Kumkumarchana, Deepa Seva, and collective prayers to Goddess Samrajya Lakshmi. Devotees gather to seek Her blessings for prosperity, protection, harmony, and success in righteous endeavors. The sacred atmosphere of the temple encourages every devotee to surrender worries at the feet of the Divine Mother and cultivate faith, humility, and gratitude.

Amavasya Puja reminds us that true prosperity is not measured only by wealth but also by purity of heart, wisdom, and devotion. By worshipping Sri Samrajya Lakshmi on this sacred day, devotees pray for the removal of hardships, the blessing of abundance, and the strength to walk the path of dharma with unwavering faith and inner peace.
