The formal sankalpam made at the sacred kshetra, arranged with experienced Vedic priests.
Kshetra Sankalpam is the Sanskrit transliteration; Shethra Sangalpam is the same phrase as it is pronounced in Tamil. Neither is more correct than the other - families use whichever is familiar to them, and both refer to the same observance.
A sankalpam is the formal statement of intention made at the start of a Vedic rite, in which the priest names the place, the time, the family and the purpose for which the rite is being performed. Kshetra Sankalpam is the sankalpam made at a sacred kshetra, naming that place as where the observance is undertaken.
At Rameswaram it is made as part of the observances families come here to perform, marking the intention before the rites that follow.
Because the sankalpam names the family, the gotra and the purpose, the priest will ask for those details before the rite. If you are not certain of your gotra or the particulars, mention it when you enquire and the priest can guide you.
Shethra Sangalpam is generally arranged together with the observances it precedes rather than on its own. Tell us which rites your family intends to perform at Rameswaram and we will arrange the sankalpam as part of them.
