Naganathaswamy Temple, Keezhperumpallam – Prayers
Those
suffering from gastric troubles, neurological setbacks, lacking courage and
those aspiring progress in trade and undertakings, seeking unity and prosperity
in family and longevity and welfare of succeeding generations pray to Lord Naganathaswami
and planet Kethu. They perform milk abishek on their birth star days with
nivedhana and offer vastras in different colours. Devotees offer rice made of
Kollu and clothes in various colours.
Kethu is
the authority for wisdom. He is a fearless planet doing all good for the
devotees belonging to his Rasi. People pray to planet Kethu for excellence
in education and family prosperity. Those facing some adverse aspects of
this planet, pray first to Lord Naganatha and Kethu with red flowers, offering horse
gram rice – Kollu sadham – as nivedhana and light seven deepas.
It was
believed that the devotees will get rid of from Naga Dhosham, Kethu Dhosham,
and from marriage related issues by worshiping this temple. Kethu god is
specially offered with offerings like Lilly flowers, horse gram (Kollu), and
multi colored cloths.
