Pavithrotsavam: Sri Andal Rangamanar Sri Lakshminarasimha Kovil , Bheemana St. Abiramapuram, Chennai – Sep 27-30 2025 … I had the mahaabaagyam to participate in kainkaryam as one of the three Homam Ritwiks. (Following behind)
The pavithrotsavam Homam and other rituals continued for 3 full days , morning and evening. The culminating purnahuthi ritual on 4th day was conducted today Sep 30th with great Vedic fervour and fanfare at the temple . I had the baagyam of participating in the Homam on all the 4 days as one of the Ritwiks (Vedic subordinate priestly servitor).
During the rites , a very special chant was conducted by the chief priest (hota) of ApAmArjana Stotra Japa (from the Vishnu Dharmottara Purana) and Swami Vedanta Desikan’s “Garuda Panchaashath” and “Sri Raghuveera Gadyam”. It was my delight to join the chanting with him.
The significance of Pavithrotsavam was well explained by the Brihaspati swami who hails from Tirukannapuram. Please watch the video below .
