An abishegam is performed for Lord Natarajan in the morning on

Aani Uthram. It is believed that Lord Nataraja gives darshan during

the months Aani and Margazhi.

 

Aani Thirumanjanam is the pradosha abhishekam during the

evening of the day of Uthiram star in the month Aani (June-July). This is the

best time for

worshipping Lord Shiva. Scriptures

say it was on Aani Uthiram, that the Lord offered Upadesa to

Sage Manikavasagar. Venue : under a kurundai tree.

 

Legends have it that during the Abhishekam to the Lord,

as everyone watched, the sage merged in the Lord

as a brilliant flame.
