What is Visakam Nakshatra?

Visakam (Vishakha) is the star Murugan was born under. Vaikasi Visakam is his birthday, kept at Thiruchendur, Palani, Swamimalai and other Murugan temples with paal kudam, kavadi and special abhishekam. Visakam in the other months is not a fast day of its own; those born under Visakam use these dates for an archanai on their birth-star day. 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 Visakam star day?

The monthly Visakam is not a fast day and has no rite of its own. For those born under Visakam it is the monthly birth-star day: a visit to the temple and an archanai in their own name and star at the Murugan shrine is all it asks.

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

Vaikasi Visakam is Murugan's birthday, kept with paal kudam and kavadi at his temples.
