BENGALURU: Mysuru-based Spiritual Products Private Ltd, part of the NR Group and makers of Cycle Pure Agarbathies, has launched “PurePrayer” mobile App and website PurePrayer.com, a new digital initiative to connect devotees to the divine. In line with Karnataka government’s drive towards safety and wellbeing for all, the PurePrayer App will enable devotees to book Pujas and Sevas at 52 prominent temples in Karnataka including Kota’s Shri Amriteshwari, Hampi’s Sri Viruprakasheshwara Swamy Devastana, Mysuru’s Shri Chamundeshwari Temple and Bengaluru’s Shri Someshwara Swamy Temple.

The devotees can book pujas, sevas, and specific temple rituals as per the charges prescribed by the temples. The PurePrayer app will not add any additional service charge or convenience for connecting the devotees to the temples.

State minister Kota Srinivas Poojary said, "We have had discussions with the chief minister regarding Muzrai department, during which it was decided to open temples from 1 June. The temples will be opened to offer Puja and daily rituals; we are not permitting temple fairs and events. We also have a PurePrayer app for our devotees through which they can participate in temple rituals from their home."

He adds, "All temples will be opened and instructions have been given to take preventive measures and make necessary preparations to ensure social distancing before June. I will discuss with officials and decide on what other measures should be taken so that things go on smoothly, ensuring the safety of devotees."

Cycle Pure Agarbathies MD Arjun Ranga said, “This initiative has been taken by us to connect devotees to the divine in the wake of the pandemic. We have worked closely with the office of the Commissioner for Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowment, adhering to all the guidelines prescribed.”
