Overview
Sathabhishekam for families in Sarnath
Sathabhishekam is the celebration of a person’s eightieth year, traditionally reckoned as the time when they have seen a thousand full moons. It is also known as Sahasra Chandra Darshan and is especially cherished in South Indian families.
Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
