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॥

Planning Your Puja in Sarnath

Rituals are arranged at homes and hotels, not at the Buddhist heritage sites.

Newer houses in the area often have terraces or open space suitable for a small havan.

It means having seen a thousand full moons, which works out to roughly the eightieth year of life. It is another name for Sathabhishekam.
