At the Doddagaddavalli Lakshmi Devi Temple, the Special Sevas hold a divine place in the hearts of devotees. These sacred rituals are performed to invoke the blessings of Goddess Mahalakshmi, the bestower of wealth, harmony, and spiritual prosperity.
Among the most revered rituals are the Lakshmi Homa, Kumkuma Archana, and Deepotsava.
-
Lakshmi Homa is a powerful fire ritual where sacred mantras are chanted to invite the goddess’s energy and remove obstacles to prosperity.
-
Kumkuma Archana is performed with devotion using kumkuma (vermilion) as an offering to the goddess, symbolizing purity, love, and divine grace.
-
Deepotsava, the Festival of Lights, transforms the temple into a glowing sanctuary of devotion, with hundreds of lamps lit to honor the goddess and dispel darkness from life.
These sevas are conducted especially on Fridays and auspicious days, attracting devotees from near and far. Participating in these rituals is believed to bring abundance, peace, and fulfillment of heartfelt wishes. Those who cannot attend in person often sponsor these sevas, receiving prasadam as a token of the goddess’s blessings.
