Maha Kumbha Abhisheka

In the year 1997, ISKCON Bangalore temple was inaugurated. The Deities of Sri Radha Krishna Chandra, Sri Krishna Balarama, Sri Nitai Gauranga, Sri Srinivasa Govinda and Sri Prahlada Narasimha were installed in an elaborate pratishta ceremony based on the pancharatra agama shastras, with the help of main archakas from Melkote. The scriptures related to Deity worship recommend that once in twelve years after the prana pratishta of the Deity, the Jeernodharana Kumbha Abhisheka should be performed. The Brahmotsava in these respective years (every twelve years) is conducted in a grander way, similar to the inauguration year.

The Jeernodharana Kumbha Abhisheka (or Maha Kumbha Abhisheka) festival is done a few days before Brahmotsava. This year, we are performing it on April 3rd at 6pm. This day also marks the appearance day of Lord Sri Rama, and Rama Navami will also be celebrated the same evening.

Please join in and receive the blessings of Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra, Sri Sri Krishna Balarama, Sri Sri Nitai Gauranga, Sri Srinivasa Govinda, Sri Prahlada Narasimha and Srila Prabhupada.
