Koodarai Vellum

Every Year Kudaravalli is celebrated on the 27th day of Margazhi month (Dec-Jan). Sri Andal and her friends complete their fast on the 27th day, and prepare to enjoy themselves for the last three days of the month. The 27th pasuram (a hymn of Goddess), “koodarai vellum” signifies the conclusion of the fast. On this day Lord Narayana blessed Sri Andal with marriage boon. Devotees will go to temple, offer Ghee filled Akaravadisal (special dish prepared for Lord) to Lord Govinda and end Marghazhi Month Nonbu (fast).
