Temples dedicated to both Lord Vishnu and Goddess Shakti organize elaborate rituals, flower processions, and Vedic chants. The festival underscores themes of love, divine femininity, and the mystic union of the soul with the Supreme.

This ritual doesn’t just re-enact a celestial marriage—it symbolizes the soul’s longing and union with the divine, a core aspect of Bhakti philosophy.
