Prathishta Dinam Anniversary - Parayeduppu - 2023

Paraeduppu or Paranirakkal
This special offering involves filling of the sacred vessel (Para) with rice paddy by devotee's family amidst Namajapams for the welfare of the family.

Significance: Historically in Kerala, families provided a share of their income in support of the temple by providing rice paddy using the sacred para. This is usually offered during the Ulsavam, Prathishta dinam periods. At our temple, an unconditional promise made to Sri Guruvayurappan to conduct thrikala (3) poojas daily and Prathishta Dinam poojas has gone uninterrupted since the Prathishta (consecration) in 2015. We request devotees to join hands and make this offering to keep up with the promise made to Sri Guruvayurappan.

Offering details (Parayidal at Temple): On the day of the offering, members of the family arrive at the temple, pushpanjali will be done to Sri Guruvayurappan for all the members of the family. After doing a namajapam, members of the family make a pradikshanam around the srikovil with Guruvayurappan's kolam, sacred lamp, Para chanting narayana mantra to the front of the temple and completes the Paraeduppu offering, guided by temple volunteers.

Offering details (Parayidal at Home): On the day of the offering, at the temple, pushpanjali will be done to Sri Guruvayurappan for all the members of the family. The temple volunteers make a pradikshanam around the srikovil with Guruvayurappan's kolam, sacred lamp, Para chanting narayana mantra to the front of the temple and proceed to devotee’s home. The devotee and family members completes the Paraeduppu offering at home, guided by temple volunteers.

Offering benefits and privileges: Grand procession (Thaalappoli) for Lord Guruvayurappan is conducted only once in a year. The lady of the house (offering the Para-eduppu) joins as one of the leads in welcoming UtsavaMoorthy of Lord Guruvayurappan, with this special lamp on Prathishta-anniversary Grand Procession (Kazhchha Seeveli).
