Kalamega Perumal Temple, Thirumohoor – Prayers
Devotees
offer prayers to Chakkarathzhwar here for development of business, promotion in
professions, employment opportunity, foreign travel, wealth, buying new lands
and vehicles, child, success in litigation etc. Those buying a new vehicle
do the pooja in this temple. Abishek (bathing) Chakkarathzhwar in curd is a
very important prayer commitment. Devotees offer clothes to Perumal and Thayar
(Mother Goddess) and also apply butter. People also offer garlands made of
Tulsi and other flowers. Prasadas – Nivedhanas are prepared, offered to the
lord and distributed to the visiting devotees.
Those
who could afford do Annadhanam (feeding) to the visiting devotees and the poor.
The great Vaishnavite saint Nammalwar prayed to all the Perumals in the 108
Divya Desams. He attained salvation only in the Kalamega Perumal Temple. Hence,
they say that if a devotee prays to Kalamega Perumal in this temple, they will
attain Vaikuntam, Lord Vishnu’s heaven. One’s difficulties will go away if one
goes around the Thiru Mohur Lord just once.
