Anna-Koota means assembly of rice items in different forms and flavour.

items like puliyodharai, pongal, etc.), sweets and savouries, besides a huge

quantity of rice mixed with kozhambu (known as kadhamba-sadham), all of which

are offered to the Lord and then distributed to the devotees.

In view of this uthsavam, the customary (Friday) Moolavar Thirumanjanam,

besides Thirumanjanam to Uthsavars, will be held on March 5, 2010.

On Sunday, the 7th, there will be a special Thirumanjanam to Sri Srinivasa

Perumal, Sri Alarmelmangai Thayar and Swami Desikan. This will be followed by

decoration of the deities, offering of Prasadams, ghoshti, and distribution of
