The Murugan abhishekam is a simple but beautiful affair. Not too many in attendance, but it’s done jointly by Gurukkal (for Murugan) and Periyavar (for the Mayil and vel). A family of the ubhayakaras is sitting on the jamakalam outside and watching us. We tell them about the green tint on the Murugan evident only during paal abhishekam – it’s something they did not know. Enchantments are everywhere. We come back later for a small prasadam.
Schedule:
8-9am: Murugan Abhishekam (but always happens a little late)
