| During the
festival, darshan on the Makham day is very auspicious and attracts a vast concourse of
pilgrims especially between 2 P.M. and 5 P.M., the period considered most efficacious.
Women pray for mangalya or married bliss and for the prosperity of children. Others pray
for achieving their desired objects. The deity specially decorated for the occasion with
gold and diamonds shines in its entire splendor. It is believed that the goddess gave
darshan to Vilvamangalam Swamiyar on this day and appears in the same form to her
innumerable devotees. |
