Lakshmi represents prosperity and Narayana (Vishnu) represents the preservation aspect of the Supreme. Lakshmi grants us wealth, and Narayana safeguards it. Lakshmi and Narayana have appeared on earth in numerous incarnations (avatars) to reinstate dharma (right path), protect the good, and punish the wicked. Special events in the temple include: Vishnu Sahasranama on Thursdays, Satyanarayana Puja on Full Moon days, annual Brihat (108) Satyanarayana Puja, Purusha Sukta Homa in the Yagashala (summer), and Vaikunta Ekadashi (Dec–Jan).
