What is Swathi Nakshatra?

Swathi's lord is Rahu and its rasi Thulam. It is the star Narasimha appeared under, so Ahobilam and other Narasimha temples hold special worship on every month's Swathi. Periyazhwar was born at Srivilliputhur on Aani Swathi. Those born under Swathi 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 Swathi star day?

The monthly Swathi is not a fast day. For those born under Swathi 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 Narasimha shrine is all it asks.

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

Narasimha appeared under this star, so an archanai at a Narasimha temple is especially fitting.
