Perumal’s Preparatory Pujas

Arun was there for this, as Deepa wasn’t around. One priest called in from outside for this, along with 3 helpers. With Sridhar Bhattacharya also around, this made 5 total. Yagasala in the usual spot beside the Perumal Koyil. The person deputed to carry the sand collected for Ankurarpana or the seed sprouting is Sridhar Bhattacharya. Milk and water are poured over, there is an aradhanai, and then of course the Vastu purusha effigy is burned and carried outside as part of the Vastu Shanti puja process. THe tiny utsavar of Vishwaksena then has his ul-purappadu.
