Suvarna Pushparchana - Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple

Suvarna Pushparchana is a sacred and visually divine ritual performed at the revered Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, typically located in Yadadri or other temples dedicated to the deity. The word “Suvarna” means gold and “Pushparchana” means worship with flowers. In this unique puja, the Lord is worshipped with golden or gold-colored flowers (often symbolic or artificial flowers representing gold), symbolizing wealth, devotion, and purity. This sevas is believed to bring immense prosperity, remove obstacles, and bless devotees with spiritual elevation. The puja is performed amidst chanting of Vedic hymns and mantras in praise of Lord Narasimha, the fierce yet compassionate incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Devotees who participate in this sevas are said to be freed from karmic debts and blessed with protection from evil forces. It is a deeply fulfilling devotional experience for those seeking divine grace, success, and peace in their personal and spiritual lives.

The Suvarna Pushparchana Puja begins with the purification of the devotee through sankalpam, where the devotee states their name, gothra, and purpose of the offering. The priest invokes the presence of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy through dhyana (meditation) and avahana (invitation). The deity is then offered panchamrita abhishekam (bathing with five sacred items), followed by alankarana (decoration) with silk garments, jewelry, and flowers. The main ritual involves offering symbolic golden flowers or gold-colored petals to the Lord while chanting the 108 or 1008 divine names of Sri Narasimha Swamy. Each name is recited with the offering of one flower. This archana is accompanied by Vedic chants and sacred hymns from the Narasimha Stotra and Lakshmi Sahasranamam. After the archana, harathi is offered with deepa (lamp) and dhoopa (incense), concluding with prasadam distribution. The puja is believed to grant divine protection, prosperity, and removal of doshas and negative energies.
