Temple celebrates consecration of new murthis
Devotees and members of various temple organisations came together and witnessed the celebration which was held over two days.
The Shree Raam Narayan Temple Society in Marburg held a ceremony for the consecration of the Hanuman murthi, Sivalingam and Nandi Sthapna Mandir last weekend.
A temple receiving new murthis (deity statues) is significant in Hinduism, marking it as a time of celebration and renewed devotion. These new murthis are typically consecrated through rituals like Pran Pratishek (entering the life breath), after which they are worshipped with adornments, offerings, and various prayers.
Devotees and members of various temple organisations came together and witnessed the celebration, which was held over two days.
The officiating priests were Pundit Piyush Mishra and Guru Krishan Kumar Mishra from India.
The day’s programme started with Shiva Abhishekam, Hanuman Chalisa and hawan. Entertainment was provided by local music band Sheppie Nagara last Saturday.
The Shree Raam Narayan Temple Society and Hibiscus Coast Navaratri Committee are hosting a 108 Hanuman Chalisa recital on Saturday, May 3. The prayer starts with a hawan at 05:00, followed by the recital from 06:00 to 18:00.
