Irumudi Kattu (Kattu Nira)


  • Start time will be announced as we get closer to the date
  • When you arrive, a volunteer will assign an irumudi station and give you a name tag. Please hand over this tag to the Guruswamy before tying irumudi.
  • There will be many Irumudi stations, please have your family members and friends ready before your irumudi starts so they can be near you during irumudi and give the ‘rice’.
  • Do a ‘namaskaram’ to Swami and Guruswami before you start the irumudi
  • A ‘prathakshnam’ is done after every Irumudi and the swamy is taken in a mini procession to a place where all Irumudis will be placed.
  • Also please note, ‘Kanni’ swamys should not mount or remove their Irumudi without the help of a ‘Pazhamalai’ (experienced swamys)
  • Once all Irumudis are prepared, Arathi will be performed as preparation for Yaathrai.
