6AM Thiruvadi Pooram Special abhishekam
6am, no signs of an abhishekam. All quiet. I go back at 730, and it’s all done. Seems to have been a simple special abhishekam.
10:30AM 108 Shankhabhishekam
I go after seeing Perumal-Andal abhishekam. Shankhas being given out to ladies as they line up to enter the moolasthanam. Sriram Gurukkal fills water and a blade of dried arugampul (I think) into every conch. The homam kundam is to the left and in front of Nandi, with the Kalasa at its head to the West. There is also the large and final Shankha, already prepared and kept.
6PM Thiruvilakku pujai–this is supposed to happen, but postponed to next Friday!!
