1,000-kilo Pushpa yaagam for Danvantri

Walajapet: A special 1,000-kg Pushpa yaagam was conducted for Sri Danvantri and Arogyalakshmi at Sri Danvantri Arogya Peedam, on October 31, 2014.

The yaagam was held on Aippasi Thiruvonam day to help people get rid of diseases and ills and to increase prosperity. In the yaagam, various types of flowers like rose and jasmine were used as offerings. 

The pushpa yaagam is held with great fervour at the Tirumala temple every year. 

There is another reason to conduct the Pushpa yaagam. Sometimes, there could be a shortfall in offerings of flowers during daily pooja. To compensate for this, a pushpa yaagam is held, Peedam founder Kayilai Gnanaguru Dr Sri Muralidhara Swamigal said.
