Ayyappa Puja

Ayyappa Puja is a significant religious ceremony dedicated to Lord Ayyappan, also known as Dharmasasta, Maṇikanṭhan, or Sasta. Lord Ayyappan is a divine deity who represents a fusion of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. He is considered an incarnation of Lord Sree Dharma Sastha. This puja is widely observed and particularly followed by the Pandya Royal Community.

According to the belief, Lord Vishnu bestowed a precious bejeweled bell necklace upon the newly born deity, which is why Lord Ayyappan is also known as Manikantha. He is often referred to as Dharma Shastha as well. This puja is performed to seek the blessings and divine grace of Lord Ayyappan for various spiritual and worldly purposes.
