What is Marriage Anniversary Pooja?
Shiva–Parvati and Lakshmi–Narayana are worshipped as the ideal couples. The couple sits together for the sankalpa, offers puja and receives the blessings of elders — a simple way to mark the day with the family.
Milestone anniversaries are often marked with a larger puja or homam; the 60th birthday (Shashtipoorthi) and the 80th (Sahasra Chandra Darshana) are separate ceremonies Stuti Mandir also arranges.
