Sri Sita Rama Shodashopachara Puja

Rama or Ram is also known as Ramachandra is a major deity of Hinduism. He is the 7th avatar of the God Vishnu, one of his most popular incarnations. Rama was born to Kaushalya and Dasharatha in Ayodhya, the ruler of the Kingdom of Kosala. His siblings included Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna. He married Sita. Though born in a royal family, their life is described in the Hindu texts as one challenged by unexpected changes such as an exile into impoverished and difficult circumstances, ethical questions, and moral dilemmas. Of all their travails, the most notable is the kidnapping of Sita by demon-king Ravana, followed by the determined and epic efforts of Rama and Lakshmana to gain her freedom and destroy the evil Ravana against great odds. The entire life story of Rama, Sita, and their companions allegorically discusses the duties, rights, and social responsibilities of an individual. It illustrates dharma and dharmic living through model characters.

During these pandemic times, it is not advisable for devotees to attend Sri Sita Rama Puja by stepping out or inviting pandit to home. So for the benefit of all devotees, we Janata Temple are organizing Sri Sita Rama Puja online via zoom every Sunday.
