Sri RAmajayam
SrimathE GopAla DEsika MahA DEsikAya Namaha

Tradition followed at our home (AdiyEn share this to
learn more)

Bhogi - Burning of old things before sun-rise.  Since
Bhogi also signifies AndAl KalyAnam, it celebrated at
homes with special Thaligai for ThiruvAradhanam,
including making Poli.   


Pongal (Welcoming UttarAyana Punya KAlam) - Early
morning Sugar Cane is tied at the entrance, with
Mavilai (Mango leaves) thOranam.

Two Pongal panai nicely adorned with flowers, root
ginger, root turmeric and Thiruman Kaapu are placed
facing east at an auspicious time (this time btw 9am
to 10am in India).  One of them to cook white rice
(Suddha Annam for ThiruvAradhanam) and another has
white rice mixed with dal (PAsi payaru) for making
White Pongal and Sakarai Pongal.   An assortment of
chips (Sweet potato, plantain, Yam) are also made.  
And Kadambam is also made.

When the pot froths, bells are sounded as if to
welcome "God" into our homes, and soon after the food
is prepared it is offered at ThiruvAradhanam
(BhojyAsanam).  Before BhojyAsanam at AlankArasanam,
new clothes are offered (traditionally Dhoties,
Sarees) to the Divya Dhampathis, which are later
accepted as PrasAdham.   After BhojyAsanam, at Punar
MantrAsanam, fruits including sugarcane, banana are
offered along with flowers & Thamboolam to the Divya
Dhampathism. This followed by Satthumurai (without
Divya Prabandham at home), reciting of AchArya Taniyan
& offering SambhAvanai.

After ThiruvAradhanam, the new clothes are worn,
blessings are taken from parents/elders at home,
PrasAdham is consumed, and proceed to go to temples
and relatives.

On Kanu - Early morning, kalantha satham is made and
offered in ThiruvAradhanam (Puliyora, Coconut rice,
Lemon rice, Thadhiyannam).  This plus coloured rice
from previous days suddha annam and the Chakarai
pongal prasadam are neatly arranged on Ginger and
Turmeric leaves by ladies in the house, including
daughters who visit the parents on this day.  
Additionally they place Thamboolam, Flowers, fruits to
the birds, and offer Neerajanam.   If there are cows
at home, they are also worshipped in a similar manner,
plus adorning them with new bells, annointing them
with sandal paste, plus feeding them Jaggery, banana
etc takes place.   Daughters who visit their parents
are offered sambavanai on this day.
