What is Lalitha Sahasranama Pooja?
The Lalitha Sahasranama was revealed by Hayagriva to Sage Agastya. Each of the thousand names describes the Devi’s form and grace, and chanting it with kumkumarchana is one of the most powerful forms of Devi worship at home.
Families do it for the well-being of the household, for married women’s saubhagya, for removal of obstacles and to thank the Devi. Many keep a Friday or Purnima parayanam regularly.
