Rituals
On this auspicious day, fasting devotees prepare Karadiyan Nombu naivedyam (Karadai) to offer to the deity after performing pujas. The karadai can be prepared in two ways, both of which use rice as the base ingredient. One method uses jaggery and is known as ‘vella adai’, while another uses uppu adai. Tamboolam platter, which includes two betel leaves, a betel nut, kumkum, flowers, turmeric, coconut, bananas, and some coins, is also served with the naivedyam. The yellow sacred thread that they tie after the puja is known as Manjal Saradu or Nonbu Charadu. After completing all of the rituals, devotees consume Karadai, which is made with rice flour, black eyed peas, jaggery, and coconut and is eaten hot with butter.
Significance
Karadaiyan Nombu is inspired by the legend of Savitri and Satyavan, as Savitri was the first woman to observe this fast. This story is about Savitri, the daughter of a king named Astapathi, and her love and devotion. Savitri married Satyavan knowing that he would die exactly one year later. When the day came, Lord Yama appeared, to carry Satyavan with him. Savitri, on the other hand, persuaded Lord Yama to give her husband another chance at life. Lord Yama, who had been appeased by her devotion, agreed to do so. It is believed that Savitri reclaimed her husband’s life on the same day that the new month of Panguni began.
