A Pillaiyar idol for home and the Pillayar Pooja at Home

The Pillaiyar pooja will be done on all auspicious days like on fridays,Amavasai ,Krithigai and all festive days.Usually a house will maintain 2 Kal (Stone )pillayars.Some have a silver one along with a stone one. When we buy a new pillayar in stone , we need to keep them immersed in water or rice for 45 days .Then we can start doing the regular pillayr poojai at home.We should not have a Pillayar idol or that matter any idol more than 12 inches or more than your palm size at home.Start your first poojai on a auspicious day like Friday or Monday.
