On the day of Thiruvathira in the month of Sagittarius, mothers are made to sit in front of the lamp. It is customary for them to wash their hands and feet in the Goddess Sankalpa. It is based on the concept of paying our respect to our mother who “Our culture sees her as a representation of Devi”.
Children chants “Sarvamangala Mangalye..”, perform aarti in the name of the goddess, and offer namaz at her feet.
