Discovering Lawspet Murugan Koyil (together)

We also make a quick visit to the Lawspet Siva Subramania Swami temple, where Ramanan Gurukkal helps out the main priest (Venkatesan Gurukkal). There is a group of women singing there, led by one Kalyani mami. This temple has an easy laid back atmosphere. Steady stream of devotees, but no special pujas going on at the time we go.

Krittikai puja is usually a morning abhishekam to utsavar-Valli-Devasena, and Moolavar and a simple alankaram in the evening followed by deeparadhanai, and a thanga-ther ul-purappadu.
