Karadaiyan NombuSunday, March 13, 2016 (1:41N)Karadaiyan Nombu, or Savitri Vratham, is a Tamil observance in which married women pray for the well-being and long life of their husbands. It is observed on the particular day when the transition between the Tamil months Maasi and Panguni takes place. It is observed by fasting on that day, and wearing a Saradu (sacred thread) followed by breaking the fast with Karadai during the time of conjunction of Maasi and Panguni. Kara-dai is the name of a unique neivedyam (holy offering) prepared on this day. Nombu means Vratam or upavasam (fast). As this year’s timing of the con-junction between the two months occurs late at night of March 13th at 1:41 a.m., the women will likely break the fast earlier in the evening of the 13th.
Panguni Uttiram March 22 and 27, 2016
Panguni Uttiram (the day Uttaraphalguni star oc-curs in the solar month of Meena) is one of the rare festivals that have significance for several deities in our temple. It is the Jayanti (day of incarnation) of Lord Ayyappa, the day that Sri Valli married Lord Subramanya, the day that Goddess Mahalakshmi in-
carnated on earth from the ocean of milk, the day Goddess Parvathi in the form of Kamakshi (or Gowri) married Lord Siva in Kanchipuram. It is only fitting that we celebrate this festival in our temple with all the reli-gious grandeur so that our congregation can receive the blessings of many Gods and Goddesses.

VISHU, TAMIL & TULU NEW YEAR DAYWednesday, April 13 and 17, 2016(Dhunmukhi Nama Samvatsara) Vishu signifies the entry of sun into Mesha Raasi and it is believed to bring good luck if one views auspicious things the first thing in the morning. Hence on this day in Kerala, homes are beautifully decorated and auspicious items are kept at the family altar. Tamil and Tulu New year are celebrated by worshiping the family deities, preparation of sweets and other delicacies and the reading of the Panchangam (Religious Almanac). The panchangam reading provides a list of all good and auspicious things as well as any adverse type of events that are likely to occur that year due to the transitory movements of planets as well as due to the presiding deity for the year. It is believed that listening to the panchangam reading will magnify the predicted good effects and mitigate the effect of adverse events. A unique feature of the celebration is the ARCHANA for all deities of our temple in sequence starting from 5:30 PM. 9:00 am Vishu Kani, Mahaganapathi Homam 9:30 am Abhishekam to Ganesha 10:00 am Abhishekam to Siva & Anantapadmanabha, Ayyappa Puja 5:30 pm Starting time for Archana for all deities (Sarva Devata Archana) 7:30 pm Panchanga Patanam & Prasadam Distribution Sponsorship: Ayyappa Puja or one Abhishekam $25 Sarva Devata Archana $35
