• Sunday (10:30 AM)
• Texas Murugan Temple, Austin

The Texas Murugan Temple will be performing the sacred Sankadahara Chathurthi Ganesh Abhishekam, a deeply revered ritual dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the giver of wisdom, clarity, and success. Sankadahara Chathurthi is one of the most powerful days to worship Lord Ganesha, as it is believed that prayers offered on this day dissolve difficulties and bring peace into one’s life.

During this special abhishekam, Lord Ganesha is bathed with divine ingredients such as milk, honey, ghee, tender coconut water, turmeric, sandalwood paste, and vibuthi—each carrying spiritual meaning. Milk brings purity, honey symbolizes sweetness in life, turmeric offers protection, and sandal paste brings mental calmness. Every item used during the ritual purifies the body, mind, and soul of the devotee.

The Abhishekam is performed by the temple’s experienced priests with traditional Ganapatya and Saiva Agama procedures, accompanied by powerful Vedic chants like the Ganapati Atharvashirsha, creating a spiritually uplifting atmosphere. These chants invoke Lord Ganesha’s blessings for intelligence, good fortune, and the removal of karmic obstacles.

As Lord Ganesha is beautifully decorated after the abhishekam (Alankara Darshanam), devotees experience his divine presence, which fills the heart with positivity, clarity, and confidence. Observing Sankadahara Chathurthi and attending this abhishekam is especially beneficial for students, families, professionals, and anyone seeking stability and success in life.

We warmly invite you and your family to participate in this auspicious Sankadahara Chathurthi – Ganesh Abhishekam. May Lord Ganesha bless all devotees with wisdom, good health, prosperity, and the strength to overcome all challenges.
