Kedhara Gowri Nombu - Part 2

 The Kalasam Plate 

Things to Take to temple .

In our family we go to temple where the Gowri nombu kalasam will be kept. In Trichy , the Gowri nombu kalasam is kept in Kallakuzhi Anjaneyar Temple. In 2021 I took the nombu in Trichy Kallakuzhi Anjaneyar Temple only.

What are the things to take in the plate.

1. Banana - 1 dozen 

2. Flowers 

3. Betal leaf / Vethalai 

4. Turmeric powder 

5. Kumkum powder 

6. Verali manjal 

7. Kotta pakku 

8. Coconut 

9. Kadholai Karumani 

10. Nombu kairu ( according to number of inmates of a family) 

11. Wooden comb 

12. Mirror optional .

13. Adhirasam - made at home in a basin( kept exclusive only for pooja rituals) 

14. Udhiri pookal ( Loose flowers ) for archanai 

15. Camphor 

16. Udhavathi 

17. Dakshinam coins or notes to give in temple 

18. Cloth to cover the tambulam plate 

The nombu kairu will be in red color . In our house both gender threads are of same designs. There is no seperate thread for male or female.

An auspicious time has to be seen to buy all the above items.

I have attached the photos of the nombu kairu and the kadholai Karumani which has to be kept in the tamboolam plate. 

I have also written another posts on Kedhara gowri nombu elaborately. 

You can refer that.

When visiting temple you can take some ashtothara books to see and recite while doing archanai to ambal in Kalasam.
