Primarly, at Saveshwaradhama, the offerings are in the form of RED CHILLIES! And to everyone's amazament, they never experience any burning sensation, skin and mouth irritation, coughing, heartburn, gastrointestinal pain, and diarrhea

These are the actual affect of burning red chillies in fire!

When red chilies are burnt, they release capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, which can cause a burning sensation on the skin and in the mouth, and may also lead to coughs or other respiratory issues.

Capsaicin Release: Burning red chilies releases capsaicin, the compound that gives them their characteristic heat.

Skin and Mouth Irritation: Capsaicin can cause a burning sensation on the skin and in the mouth, as it binds to pain receptors.

Respiratory Effects: Inhaling capsaicin fumes can lead to coughing, as it activates receptors in the airways, causing them to contract and potentially leading to mucous secretion or edema.

Other Effects: In some cases, excessive exposure to capsaicin can lead to heartburn, gastrointestinal pain, and diarrhea.

5. Chandra Puja: Offer prayers to the Moon God for emotional peace and clarity.

6. Aarti and Prasad: Conclude with devotional songs and distribute the blessed offerings.
