7:00 PM: Puja Commencement, Pavitra Offering, Deeparadhanai.
Pavitram adorned in the morning, but in the evening they were off again (why? Because this is in the outside space and not secured or some other ritual reason?). The chattrifying with pavitram didn’t seem to follow as elaborate a sequence as with Perumal, though the main deities got it first and then Vinayaka, Murugan. Kayana Gurukkal all over the place putting the yellow pavitram all over, along with ayyappan and other helpers. We were a little frazzled following them in a dozen directions, and missed photographing the pavitrams on the navagrahas.
