Prayers
Those
facing adverse aspects of Rahu and Ketu planets and those facing delays in
marriage due to Kalasarpa dosha in whose horoscopes the snake planets are at
both ends covering the other planets in between them, pray here for relief.
Devotees perform abishek to Sri Ramanuja with milk as a prayer commitment. The
water left over from the daily ablutions and the cloth worn by the deities is
squeezed and given as Prasadam (blessing) to devotees at Ramanuja Swamy Temple.
This cloth is said to cure skin diseases and bless childless couples with
children. Every month, on the day that the Thiruvadirai star reigns in the sky,
many people come to witness the milk ablutions and to get the blessings of the
Lord.
