Guide to Shashwat Puja (Perpetual Worship) at Kaleshwaram Temple
The Sri Kaleshwara Muktheshwara Swamy Temple offers devotees a highly blessed opportunity to participate in the temple's sacred rituals through the Shashwat Puja (Perpetual Worship) schemes.
If you wish to ensure that a special pooja, abhishekam, or annadanam is performed in your or your family's name for years to come, enrolling in a Shashwat Puja plan is the perfect way to do so.
How Does Shashwat Puja Work?
When a devotee donates a specific amount towards a Shashwat scheme, the temple administration deposits this fund into a Fixed Deposit (FD) in a national bank. The annual interest generated from this deposit is strictly utilized to perform the designated pooja or annadanam on behalf of the devotee.
This noble system not only ensures your continuous participation in the Lord's service but also helps in growing the temple's main corpus fund (Moola Nidhi), leading to the overall development of the Kshetram.
