What is Sathayam Nakshatra?

Sathayam's lord is Rahu, and all of it lies in Kumbam. Rajaraja Chola, who built the Thanjavur Big Temple, was born on Aippasi Sathayam, and the temple holds the Sathaya Vizha on that day every year. Those born under Sathayam use these dates for an archanai on their birth-star day each month. 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 Sathayam star day?

The monthly Sathayam is not a fast day. For those born under Sathayam it is the birth-star day that comes round once a month: a visit to the temple and a janma nakshatra archanai in their own name and star at the shrine of your chosen or family deity is all it asks.

  • Bathe in the morning and light the lamp at home
  • An archanai at the shrine of your chosen or family deity, giving your name and star
  • If you can, feed someone or give a small gift

Aippasi Sathayam is Rajaraja Chola's Sathaya Vizha at the Thanjavur Big Temple.
