Why Supporting Temple Seva During Festivals Multiplies Spiritual Merit
Festivals in Sanatan Dharma are not only celebrations — they are periods of heightened spiritual energy. During these sacred days, devotion intensifies, collective prayer increases, and emotional connection deepens. Aligning Seva with such occasions is believed to amplify both spiritual and social impact.
At Shri Prachin Narsingh Hanuman Mandir (Patthar Wale Baba), Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi, festivals become moments when Ann Daan, Bhog offerings, Gau Seva, and community initiatives are performed with renewed enthusiasm. Devotees often choose these days to participate in temple Seva as an expression of gratitude and faith.
But why is festival-time Seva considered especially meaningful?
