Sri Siva-Krishna Temple Maha Kumbabishegam

As a community, we have been truly blessed by the Divine Grace to have the Sri Siva-Krishna Temple (SSKT) in our Woodlands neighbourhood. The Management Committee (MC) is planning to embark on a major repair and redecoration works to the main Temple and subsequently host the re-consecration ceremony (Maha Kumbabishegam) on 09 February 2025.

WHY MAHA KUMBABISHEGAM?

A Temple is a home of the Divine, meant for collective spiritual benefit and upliftment. The omnipotence of the supreme is manifested into Idols by Mantra Sakti at the time of consecration (PrathiSthapana) through a precise process ordained by the scriptures called Agamas, thereby making the Idols into Deities. After the original consecration of Sri Siva-Krishna Temple in 1996, the power of mantra manifested in the Deities is to be maintained by regular worship and periodic renewal, as prescribed by the Agamas.

The scriptures ordain that the renewal process should take place “once every 12 years” from the original day of consecration. This is performed through a religious process called Maha Kumbabishegam. The 2nd Maha Kumbabishegam was conducted in 2008. In preparation for our 3rd Maha Kumbabishegam, scheduled to be conducted on 9 Feb 2025, we must perform necessary maintenance, repairs, renovations, upgrades to existing temple structures. (Sanctums, Sanctorums, Gopurams, Vimanams, Dwaja Sthambams and Deities)
