Tirumanjanam for Thayar on Friday's evening - clarification sought

[Guest guest]

Srimathey iramanujaya Namaha:

 

Swamin:

 

Can we perform Tirumanjanam for Thayar on Friday's evening ?

 

Is it allowed in sastharam to perform tirumanjanam after sunset?

 

I want your opinion/suggestion/ advice about this practice. Is it

performed in any other divya desam in India? Also is it performed in

any temple in USA? If so, where in India/USA? is there any veda

document where it says that we can perform tirumanjanam in the evenings?

SrI:

 

Dear SrI Padmanabhan :

 

To the best of my knowledge ,

there are no evening Thirumanjanams

to ThAyAr anywhere . The rationale

for such a timing is not clear .

 

VedAs do not talk about Thirumanjanams .

Aagamams talk about all the UpachArAms

and AarAdhanams .

 

It is usual to plan Thirumanjanam after

Midday AarAdhanam . It is done for both

perumAL and ThAyAr except in kshEtrams

where ThAyAr has Her own sannidhi

(TanikkOil ArchAs) .

 

It may be convenient for working

AasthikAs to think of performing

Thirumanjanam in the evening but it

is not sanctioned for the evenings .

 

Perhaps others can shed some light

especially those are familiar with

the Thirumanjanams at ThirucchAnUr .

Routine Thirumanjanams are not done at odd hours. But as an angam

(part) of an Utsavam they are done during any part of the day

dictated by that utsavam.

I have no idea about how my earlier response to this question was

cut off. I am repeating it here.

Routine Thirumanjanams are not done at odd hours. But as an angam

(part) of an Utsavam they are done at any time as dictated by that

Utsavam. But at home we should remember to observe food restrictions

(during the day) on days like Sri Jayanthi when Thirumanjanam is done

late night for Perumaal and Thaayaar.
