Lakshadeepam at the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple - www.neelaearth.com
The video shows the Lakshadeepam at the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram.
Lakshadeepam and Murajapam are conducted at the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple once in six years. In Malayalam, Mura means Samhita of the Vedas. So the recitation or japam of the Samhitas is called Murajapam. The first Murajapam at the temple was conducted in 1520 and the custom has been continued ever since.
The Murajapam concludes on Makara Sankranthi Day with the Lakshadeepam which literally means ‘one lakh lamps’. On this day, the entire temple is lit and in its dazzling background, Lord Padmanabha, Lord Narasimha and Lord Krishna are taken out on Garudavahana in a grand procession
