VARALAKSHMI VIRATHAM

Vara Lakshmi Viratham is celebrated on the Friday before the full moon in the Tamil Month 'Aadi' which corresponds to the English months of July-August. 

A beautiful ‘kolam’ or rangoli is drawn on the  place of puja.The kalasham pot is filled with raw rice or water, coins. The kalasham up to the neck is  covered with a cloth and mango leaves are placed on the mouth of the kalasham. Finally, a coconut smeared with turmeric is used to close the mouth of the kalasham. To this coconut, an image of Goddess Lakshmi is fixed.

First Lord Ganesha is worshipped. Then begins the Varalakshmi Puja. The next day the kalasham is dismantled and the water in the kalasham is sprinkled in the house. If rice is used then it is mixed with rice in the house.
