Thai Poosam

The Poosam nakshatram that occurs during the Thai month is believed to be very special. The month of Thai is also called Makara Masam. It is symbolic of the End. The sound of Aum is the joining of A, Oo and Mm. On the day of Thai Poosam, at the time of sunrise, the moon will also be visible. It is a rare occurrence that is symbolic of our merging of our soul with the supreme being.

In Palani, it is the chant of Velmuruga Arokara all the way. Thousands of devotees take the Kavadi and their chorus of Arokara while they climb up the mountain is a sight to watch; an experience to savour.
