Shiva Dhara

Shiva Dhara

Shiva Dhara is a purification puja in which water (jalam) is poured over Lord Shiva in a continuous stream while the priest chants mantras. It is one of the most cherished offerings in the Shiva temples of Kerala.

Shiva Dhara is performed on the second Saturday of every month at 9:45 am at Sri Ganesha Temple Plano.

Significance

Lord Shiva is known as Abhisheka Priya, one who loves abhishekam. Shiva Dhara is believed to restore the balance of the mind, bring calmness and reduce anxiety, and is also offered for good health and long life.

When you book this puja, the priest recites the names and nakshatras of your family members in the sankalpam and offers the puja on your behalf.

Timings can change on festival and special puja days, so please check the temple calendar before you visit.
