With the divine blessings of His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peethadhipathi Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi Swamigal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad e.V. warmly invites you and your family to join a sacred collective Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Parayanam & Kumkumarchana as we celebrate the auspicious Dasara Navaratri 2026.
Dedicated to Sri Lalitha Tripurasundari Devi, this devotional gathering brings families and devotees together for collective prayer, chanting, Kumkumarchana and traditional Navaratri worship in a spiritually uplifting atmosphere.
What to Expect
The programme will include:
• Collective chanting of Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam
• Kumkumarchana under the guidance of an experienced priest
• Bala Puja / Kanya Puja as part of the Navaratri celebrations
• Main Devi Alankaram and traditional puja rituals
• Guidance for devotees participating in Kumkumarchana
• Prasadam for devotees
The prayers will be conducted primarily in Sanskrit, with explanations and participation guidance in English, allowing both regular practitioners and first-time participants to take part comfortably.
Bala Puja / Kanya Puja
Bala Puja, also known as Kanya Puja, is a cherished Navaratri tradition in which young girls are worshipped with reverence as manifestations of the Divine Mother.
The worship symbolises the presence of Devi Shakti in its pure and auspicious form and is traditionally performed seeking the blessings of the Divine Mother for the well-being, protection, prosperity and spiritual upliftment of families.
As part of the programme, Bala Puja / Kanya Puja will be performed for girls aged 2 to 9 years.
If you would like your daughter to participate as a Bala, please select the Bala Puja participation option and complete the required form during registration.
Bala Puja participation is limited and will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Kumkumarchana Kit
A special Kumkumarchana Kit will be provided for devotees participating in the puja.
The kit is planned to include:
• Kumkum
• Pasupu / Turmeric
• 2 Diyas
• Sri Chakram
• Kanchi Kamakshi Devi Photo
• Kankanam / Sacred Wrist Thread
• Other essential puja materials required for the Kumkumarchana
The kit is designed so that devotees can participate in the Kumkumarchana together with the priest without needing to arrange the main puja materials separately.
Who Can Participate?
Everyone is welcome.
Individuals, couples, families and children may participate. Previous experience in chanting Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam or performing Kumkumarchana is not required.
Whether you regularly perform Devi Upasana or are joining such a programme for the first time, you are warmly invited to participate with devotion.
Families with children are especially welcome to join the Navaratri celebrations and experience sacred traditions such as Bala Puja / Kanya Puja together.
We also hope to share a special recorded Navaratri blessing and message from His Holiness Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi Swamigal with devotees attending the programme.
As we come together during the sacred Dasara Navaratri, let us collectively seek the blessings of Sri Lalitha Tripurasundari Devi for peace, prosperity, good health, harmony and spiritual well-being for our families and the wider community.
We warmly welcome you and your family to this sacred Navaratri celebration in Frankfurt.
