Sathabhishekam (80th birthday)

Sathabhishekam is the set of poojas and rituals performed for the couple when the 81st year starts or when the 80th year gets completed. Generally, the couple’s children or in-laws, or relatives organize this 80th birthday pooja. This pooja is considered one of the most significant poojas in our Hindu Traditions. Sathabhishekam helps to find an immense increase in a couple’s spirituality and assists them in receiving the blessings of the Lord, which pave the way to attain moksha in their life. This ceremony removes all kinds of sins or bad Karma that will not affect them or their children and the next generations.
