Significance of Navarathna Samarpanam

Navarathna (Nine Gems) offerings are a rare and auspicious way to connect with deities before the installation of the Moola Vigraha. According to tradition, devotees offer precious items such as gold, silver, and sacred gems beneath the deity to strengthen their spiritual bond with God.

Each gemstone in the Navarathna set is connected to the cosmic forces of the universe and represents different Raasis (zodiac signs) based on the planetary positions at birth. Offering a Navarathna associated with your Raasi ensures a deep, personal connection with the divine energy.
