Pradosham Chanting & Puja

Prayer Service Dedicated to Lord Shiva

Join Us for Shiva Chanting and Puja!

Join us during this sacred time of about 3 hours starting just before sunset and ending after sunset. Twice a month on the evening that the 13th lunar phase changes to the 14th, during the dark and bright lunar fortnight, we observe pradosham by chanting Om Namah Shivaya and performing abhishekams in the temple. Many people fast on this day at least once a month. 

​
Our monthly Pradosham Ceremony will be conducted, in Schuyler Virginia. ​This service concludes with anna danam (a vegetarian meal). ​Full event schedule below (when the Puja falls on a business week night we perform an abbreviated ceremony beginning at 7pm and ending around 9pm to accommodate guests and volunteers work schedules).
​This is event is free to attend and open to the public.
