Naga panchami kolams

May the snakes who are staying in this world, sky, heaven, sun-rays, lakes, wells, ponds etc. bless us
Snakes and serpents have great place and position in our ancient Hindu mythology. Basically during this time, when it rains and all the pits and holes are filled with water, snakes and other rodents come out of their hiding. There are hundreds of cases of snake bites and people and farmers especially and all those living near fields and grounds of dying of snake bite. Hence our ancients developed this ritual of worshiping the snakes that are most seen roaming out of their homes during this time, to appease them and request them not to bite people. There is a sacred precept to worship serpents and lord Shiva on this festival. Panchami tithi has its importance in many ways. According to Shastras - By having fast and worshipping Nag Dev on Nag Panchami Day one's desires and ambitions are fulfilled. Although there are several serpent Gods, these are worshipped during Nag Panchami Puja -

Aadi pooram kolams

Aadi pooram wishes,,, :)
or andal jeyanthi is observed as an auspicious day of the month,,,

Vishnu Chitha (called as Periazhwar) was a sincere devotee of Lord Ranganatha of Srivilliputhur. He was childless for a very long time. His prayers were answered and on Aadi Pooram day,,,,,

when the devotee Periazhwar,, was collecting flowers for his puja in his garden, he found a girl child. The child was named Kothai who grew up with devotion to Lord renganathar

Everyday, Vishnu Chitha made a garland of Thulasi leaves to offer to the deity at the temple. Kothai used to wear that before offering to the Lord. One day, the devotee happened to see her wearing this garland and so he replaced with another one. However, the Lord refused to accept the new one and said that He would only wear the garland worn by Kothai. Vishnu Chitha realized that his daughter is Goddess Maha Lakshmi herself. Andal then came to be known as Choodi Kodutha Sudarkodi, meaning ‘garland offered after being worn’.

aadi pooram and in many temples is celebrated as valaikappu for amman.
Parvati Devi,  wanted to experience normal pregnancy ,,the nine months ,,
So She came down to earth along with shiva,

it is said that she was thirty and shiva had to go in search of water. while shiva went in search of water, parvathi devi thinks, i would like to stay in this state of being pregnant and safeguard the world, and transforms into the same. and that is the now putlur

10th day is celebrated as Aadi Pooram day where Thirukalyanam (divine marriage of the God and the Goddess) is conducted. Special pujas are also conducted on this day. It is believed that if unmarried girls worship Goddess Andal on the 10th day of Adi Pooram festvial, they will get married soon. Many other places like Srivilliputhur also celebrate their car festival (therottam) of andal on this day,,,

the various festivities of this day are posted, ,,
