What is Ayilyam Nakshatra?

Ayilyam (Ashlesha) is the serpent star, and its deities are the nagas. Mannarasala in Kerala and other naga temples hold a special puja for the serpent deities on every month's Ayilyam. In Tamil Nadu it is the day chosen for naga dosha parikaram and for pouring milk on naga stones and anthills. Each date here is the day the star holds at midday; when it holds at two middays running, both days are shown.

What can you do on Ayilyam star day?

Ayilyam is not a fast day; it is a day to worship the naga deities. Pour milk over the naga stones under the temple tree or at an anthill, and offer turmeric and kumkum. It is also the day chosen for naga dosha parikaram.

  • Bathe in the morning and light a lamp at home
  • Milk, turmeric and kumkum for the naga stones
  • Pour milk at an anthill and worship
  • Those with naga dosha: the parikaram puja at the temple
Offerings
