Everyone finds it to be a happy and spiritual occasion.
The puja vidhi for Sri Swamy Vari Kalyanam begins with the preparation of the mandapam (wedding stage), where the Utsava Murtis of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy and Goddess Lakshmi Devi are beautifully adorned in bridal attire. The ritual starts with Sankalpam, followed by Punyahavachanam (purification with holy water) and Vighneswara Puja to remove obstacles. Priests then perform Kanyadanam, where Lakshmi Devi is offered to Lord Narasimha in marriage. The divine couple is honoured with Jeelakarra-Bellam (cumin-jaggery paste) on their foreheads, symbolising unity. Mangalya Dharanam (tying of the sacred thread) and garland exchange mark the completion of the celestial wedding. Vedic chants, Mangala Suktams, and Nadaswaram music elevate the spiritual energy. Devotees shower flower petals and chant in joy. The ceremony concludes with Aarti, Naivedyam, and blessings to the devotees. Witnessing or participating in this divine kalyanam grants blessings for happy marriages, prosperity, and divine grace.
