Goda Devi Kalyanam at SDP SSV Temple
We have seen different kinds of Kalyanams like Sitaramakalyanam, Srinivasa Kalyanam are held grandly. Compared to them ‘Goda Ranganathula’s Kalyanam’ has a special feature. Goda Devi, being a human maiden, married Ranganatha, who was an idol.
This Goda Devi Kalyanam, which is performed with great devotion, was recently held in America as well. Along with Bhogi celebrations, ‘Goda Devi Kalyanam’ was organized. Sankranti celebrations have started at Sri Shiva Vishnu Temple (SDP SSV) in New Jersey.
