The ashtottara form uses 108 names, while a longer form uses the thousand names, the sahasranama. Telugu families often choose it when they pray to the Devi for the household. At Basara the 108 names are offered to Devi Gnana Saraswati, gnana meaning knowledge. Your name and gotra are spoken in the sankalp, so the archana is made for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy devotees book it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA prayer for studies, offered in faith, before exams or a new school or college year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA prayer for work and career, for clarity and steady progress, offered in faith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe well-being of the whole family, a traditional intention of kumkumarchana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevotion to Saraswati at Basara, where families bring children for their first letters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA prayer for a happy married life and for protection, offered to the Devi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen to book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNavaratri is a traditional season for kumkumarchana, and Fridays and Tuesdays suit it through the year.
