ANNAPRASANA Devout parents conduct the first feeding ceremony of their
children here, believing that there cannot be any starvation or
stomach disorders etc to their wards anytime in life; it is
conducted near the golden flag staff. One of the priests pours
thirtham into the child's mouth, followed by smearing of the sandal
paste all over. Then the parent feeds the ward. People from far and
near throng the koil to avail this, and it is held everyday in the
morning. |
