GURUPAVANAPURA

 
CHITTUVILAKKU 

The outer prakara of Srikoil is fitted with rows of small brass lamps, numbering over several thousands. Devotees who offer this puja enjoy the privilege of lighting. Either, oil or ghee is used, and the lamps burn for nearly three hours, making the entire courtyard bright and magnificent, pleasing to the Lord and devotees, assembled around the Srikoil. It is a costly puja, yet almost every alternate day one can observe this.
