Dhanurmasam Celebrations

Importance of the Festival/Event
 
The month of Dhanurmasa is considered a very special month for religious services. Lord Krishna declares in the Bhagavad Gita: “I manifest the most in the month of Margashira (also known as Dhanurmasam) among the months of a year”. For this reason, sages have set apart this month to be completely focused on devotional activities. According to tradition, the Gods wake up early in the morning during the month of Dhanurmasam. They perform special prayers to Sri Maha Vishnu during the auspicious period of Brahma Muhurta. It is said that worshipping Lord Vishnu on a single day during this auspicious period is equal to worshiping Lord Vishnu with devotion for 1000 years.

TEMPLE OPENS EVERY MORNING AT 6:00 AM DURING THIS MONTH
