Rituals of Aadi Velli
The first Friday of Aadi Velli is dedicated to the great Goddess Swarnambika. She is worshipped as the goddess Parvati. On the first Friday of the nurturing Aadi month, worshippers seek blessings of Lord Parvati by observing fast for her and doing puja ceremonies. The second Friday marks the importance of Goddess Kali, the most ferocious and bold Hindu goddess. Worshipping her with full-fledged arrangements on the second Friday will invite prosperity and intelligence in one’s life. The third Friday is devoted to goddess Kalikambal who is nurtured in the form of supreme godhead Parvati. Kalikambal is the prominent goddess of courage and temperament and bolsters vitality in the life of devotees. On the fourth Friday of the sacred Aadi Velli, we worship Kamakshi Amman, the goddess of relationships. She shields the turbulent relationships and makes them more healthy and positive. The fifth Friday of the Aadi month is devoted to the goddess Lakshmi. Observing the worship of goddess Lakshmi on this day brings more financial stability and economic booms in the lives of people.
People observe fast on all these Fridays to please the goddess and extract the rich benefits of great Aadi month. Kadalai Paruppu Prasad, Sakkarai Pongal, Akkaravadisal and Thengai Poorna prasad are prepared on this day. The worship of Adi Velli does not only take place on Fridays but also on Tuesdays and Sundays. One of the main things to remember while observing Aadi Velli ceremonies is that no auspicious occasion, including weddings, occurs in the Aadi month. The month is dedicated to the moon’s ruler.
