In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Sreenivasarao’s Blog: Temple WorshipTejovriddhi refers to “that which enhances the spiritual power” (of a temple).—According to the Agamas, the brahmotsava is the most important Utsava (“festival”) in a temple. It is believed Brahma himself conducts the Utsava in honor of the presiding deity of the temple. Brahmotsava is usually a grand occasion. It is spectacular, colorful, and full of gaiety; and draws huge enthusiastic crowds. Brahmotsavas also carry social, economical and political significance. The scale and splendor of the Brahmotsava is often an index of a temples affluence, popularity and prestige. Agama texts mention five kinds of Brahmotsava. For example: A one-day Brahmothsava (Brahma) intended to enhance the spiritual power of the temple (brahma-tejovriddhi).
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
