Parashakti Valayalkaappu and Theerthavari

Vedapuriswara KoyilAlankaramAadi Masam Observances

Vedapuriswara: Valayalkappu; Morning around 10 am abhishekam will be performed for parashakti amman and theerthavari will be held for her. Later the deity will be taken for procession inside the temple and will be made to stand straight to face the moolavar Tripurasundari. Deeparadhanai will be performed for both the main deity and utsavar deity. The bangle offering ceremony to utsavar will happen, offered by ubhayakaras, Evening unjal utsavam will be performed for utsavar amman, bangle offering from devotees (info from Narayanan at Vedapuriswara, who turns out to be right.)

We miss the unjal in the evening thanks to Perumal holding us back, but see the very last tail end return of Parashakti to her chamber. Mahalakshmi sannadhi at the back has a puja going on. Chandana Kaappu for her, presumably in connection with Andal, with women queueing up for Archanai. The shrine is beautifully lit, with just vilakkus. Surreal sight.

Today’s alankaram at Nandhikeswara is Saraswati as today is Saraswati puja, but this alankaram is done by the old priests of the temple since they came on hard times after leaving…
