What is Moolam Nakshatra?

In Tamil tradition Moolam (Moola) is Hanuman's birth star, so many Anjaneyar temples hold a special abhishekam and homam on the Moolam day each month, and devotees offer butter and a betel-leaf garland. Hanuman Jayanthi falls on the Margazhi Amavasai, and in some years Moolam falls on the same day. Each date here is the day the star holds at midday; when it holds at two middays running, both days are shown.

How do you worship Hanuman on Moolam star day?

Moolam is not a fast everyone must keep; it is a day for Hanuman. At an Anjaneyar temple, offer butter, a betel-leaf or vadai garland, and worship with Rama's name. Some keep a fast that day as well.

  • Bathe in the morning and light a lamp at home
  • Offer butter at an Anjaneyar temple
  • A betel-leaf, vadai or tulasi garland
  • A garland of slips written with "Sri Rama Jayam"
  • The Rama nama japam
Offerings
Butter, a betel-leaf garland, a vadai garland, a tulasi garland.
