What an Archana is
A pandit at Padmanabhaswamy takes your name, gotra and nakshatra. He speaks your sankalp and your manokamna before Vishnu, and offers flowers and prasad in your name. A devotee who cannot travel has always been represented at a temple this way, and your sankalp reaches Vishnu there.
An Archana is not a separate pooja or hawan held for you at the temple.
अर्चना क्या है
Padmanabhaswamy का पंडित आपका नाम, गोत्र और नक्षत्र लेता है। वह Vishnu के सामने आपका संकल्प और मनोकामना कहता है, और आपके नाम से फूल और प्रसाद अर्पित करता है। जो भक्त स्वयं नहीं जा सकता, उसका संकल्प सदियों से इसी तरह देवता तक पहुँचता आया है।
अर्चना का अर्थ मंदिर में आपके लिए अलग से कराई गई पूजा या हवन नहीं है।
