Pradosham Donations at Manickavasagam Trust Temple
The Pradosham is a sacred time in the Hindu calendar, observed twice a month, dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is believed that offering prayers and performing rituals during Pradosham brings immense spiritual benefits and the removal of negative karma. At Manickavasagam Trust Temple, we welcome your generous donations to support the observance of Pradosham and its associated rituals.
