About Mandala Puja
Mandala Puja is a traditional vrata (sacred observance) 41-day vrata for lord ayyappa devotees. A traditional 41-day vrata for Lord Ayyappa — concluding with the Mandala Puja day — observed by devotees preparing for Sabarimala or family Ayyappa worship. The vrata involves disciplined fasting, deity puja, parayana, and shubha sankalpa as prescribed by shastra. Gopuja arranges experienced pandits in Bangalore who guide the family through the complete Mandala Puja vidhi.
When to Perform
Mandala Puja follows its prescribed tithi/nakshatra cycle in the Hindu calendar (e.g. monthly, on a specific festival day, or during a vrata month). Gopuja confirms the exact date for the current year and guides the family in observing the vrata correctly.
