Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsVivāhamaṇḍapa (विवाहमण्डप) refers to a “special marriage pavilion”, as discussed in chapter 30 (Kriyāpāda) of the Padmasaṃhitā: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter—jñāna, yoga, kriyā and caryā) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—Description of the chapter [lakṣmyādipāṇigrahaṇa-vimānādipratiṣṭhā]: As prescribed (locally) the ceremonies celebrating the marriage between Śrī and the other Goddesses to the Lord are to be observed in order to please the devotees. [...] The special marriage maṇḍapa [vivāhamaṇḍapa] should be dedicated [pratiṣṭhā] in a particular way-which way also may be taken as pattern for establishing other maṇḍapas as well. [Actually, more attention is given in this passage (37b-47) to the appointments to be found in the maṇḍapa than to the manner in which the dedicatory rituals are to be conducted].
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.
