The Shastras ordain that the Punarudharana Maha-abhishekam should be performed every twelve years after the establishment of the temple to renew, nurture, and preserve the divine presence of the deities; and to revitalize the dedication of the devotees and their connection to the divine power. The rituals will be performed by a group of scholarly priests in accordance with the Agama Shastra and Vedic Traditions. All devotees are requested to attend and participate in this milestone event.
