Dear Devotees,
With the blessings of Sri Varadaraja Perumal, the annual Laksharchanai was conducted on 15th August 2024. This year as well we would like to thank all the devotees for the contributions and active participation. Your presence and dedication have once again made this event a grand one and we are extremely grateful for the same.
The event started off at 815 am with the 1st aavarthi finishing off by 945 am. The count of archanais totalling to 1,00,008 – the Laksharchanai was conducted over 4 aavarthis with an average participation of 25 devotees per aavarthi chanting Vishnu Sahasranamavali (1008 names of Sri Vishnu) creating a positive and divine atmosphere during the function.
During the Laksharchanai, there was a memorandum of understanding signed between West Perinkulam Welfare Association and Sri Varadaraja Perumal Seva Trust on the use of Sri Varadaraja Hall from 1st October 2024. The formality of handing over the ownership of the Hall to the trust is being worked out during the time period, the Trust has been appointed as a caretaker for the hall. The Trustees would like to thank the Association represented by Shri Gopi ji and Shri Ramadass ji who were magnanimous in handing over the caretaker agreement to the trustees during the Laksharchanai.
