The chief priest, Dr. Gavamatham Vishwanath Shastri, shared that devotees performed special tila oil abhishekam pujas with great devotion. He mentioned that since tomorrow is Amavasya Tithi, devotees should worship the deity extensively. Saturday evening’s Ashada Pradosha Kala is considered highly auspicious for having darshan of Lord Shiva.
Sunday marks the Ashada Amavasya Tithi and Pushyami Nakshatra, which is Shani Dev’s birth star. Pradosha Kala will also mark the beginning of the Shravana month. Worshipping Shani Dev during this time is believed to bring significant benefits. Devotees seeking relief from planetary doshas and peace worshipped Shani Dev with sesame oil, Indian beech flowers, Indian beech leaves, and Jilledu leaves.
Rudrabhisheka pujas and special archana were performed for Lord Shiva, who is associated with the Brahma Sutra. Special pujas were also conducted for Lord Ganapati and Nandi Swami.
