General Information:
Uthiram star people are generally good in nature with friends and relatives and are grateful to those who help them. They love luxuries. Keep their promises and are pious. Lord Mangalyeswarar graces facing east and Mother Mangalambikai facing south. There are shrines for Lord Vinayaka, Mangalya Maharshi, Lords Dakshinamurthi, Pickshadanar, Arthanareeswarar, Muruga with Valli and Deivanai, Chandikeswara, Mother Durga, Nandhi and Navagrahas the nine planets.
Uthiram, like Sun, is STRAIGHT-FORWARD, and UNHESITATING in its dealings. Uthiram is ready to serve but only from a POSITION OF SUPERIORITY.
Uthiram is considered a balanced nakshatra. Its balancing quality is pretty evident from the nature of its ruling deity Aryaman. One needs to have a balanced personality to have social graces, kindness, compassion and friendliness towards other living beings. In a way it mirrors THULAM (fairness) when it comes to all that is encompassed by the term "balance".
According to Varahamihira, those with Moon in Uthiram "earn through their knowledge, and are well liked and popular and live a life of comfort and luxury".
The 1st paagam of Uthiram indicates strongly ethics along with an advisory capacity;
The 2nd paagam of Uthiram indicates good organizational ability, practical & hard-working;
The 3rd paagam of Uthiram relates to the philanthropic side in a Robin Hood fashion; and
The 4th paagam of Uthiram indicates the intellectual as well as the spiritual side.
Panguni Uthiram (Tamil:பங்குனி உத்திரம்) (also known as Meena Uttara-phalguni in Sanskrit) is a day of importance to Tamil Hindus. It falls on the day the moon transits in the asterism or nakshatram of Uttara-phalguni or Uthiram in the twelfth month of the Tamil solar calendar i.e. Panguni (March–April). It is the full moon of the month of Panguni.
This month is special because the Uthiram nakshatram coincides with the full moon. This full moon signifies the marriage of Parvati and Parameswara (Lord Shiva), Murugan and Deivanai, and Aandaal (also known as Kothai) and Rangamannar took place. On Panguni Uthiram, Narayana marries Kamalavalli Naachiyar and give his Kalyana Kola Seva to his Bhakthas. Again, Valmiki's Ramayana says it is on this day and star that Sita's marriage with Rama was celebrated. From Brahmanda Puranam we learn that on Panguni Uthiram every holy water joins Thumburu teertha (also spelt as Tirtha), one of seven sacred tanks in Tirupati Tirumala.
The day is intended to underline the glory of grahasta dharma (or the married life of a householder). The Almighty manifests in the marital state as Uma Maheswara, Sita Rama, and Radha Krishna – despite his changelessness, sans childhood or youth or old age. The Lord is indeed a Nitya Kalyana Murthi. It is our duty to celebrate this day when the Lord, in both Shiva and Vishnu temples, appears to devotees in his married state. On Panguni Uthiram, in all places where Lord Subrahmanya has a temple, his devotees carry in a kavadi the requisites for puja for him, in fulfilment of vows. Such vow fulfilment by devotees carrying kavadis is a special feature of Subrahmanya temples wherever they happen to be.
Panguni Uthiram is a famous festival and special to Murugan devotees.
The festival is also associated with various rituals. For instance, devotees carry a kavadi (semicircular canopy supported by a wooden rod that is carried on shoulders), milk pots or pull a chariot in fulfilment of vows. A special feature is the alagu, where devotees pierce the body with spears and hooks as an offering to the Lord for having helped them to avert a calamity.
Devotees flock in hundreds to the all Murugan temples during the Panguni Uthiram festival, which is celebrated in March every year. It is the Jayanti (Day of Incarnation) of Lord Ayyappan. It is also an important festival day for Lord Subramanya (Muruga), as it is on this day that Sri Deivanai married Lord Subramanya. On this day Goddess Mahalakshmi incarnated on earth from the ocean of milk (after the ocean was churned by the Gods and the demons) and hence it is celebrated as Mahalakshmi Jayanti. On this day Goddess Parvati in the form of Gowri married Lord Siva in Kanchipuram and hence this day is also celebrated as the Gowri Kalyanam day.
This Phalgun Poornima day is also Holi in the Braj region, which includes locations traditionally connected to the Lord Krishna: Mathura.
Legend:
The temple derives its name from Sage Mangalya, who is known to be involved in the weddings of Sage Agasthya, Sage Vasishta, and Bhairava. The legend has it that the powers of Sage Mangalya reside in his fore palm – the reason why elders bless others with their raised fore-palms. Sage Mangalya is known to bless wedded couples with Akshadas, or grains of rice that have been coated with the holy turmeric. When newlywed couples are blessed so, Akshada angels are known to bless the couples; this is the belief that is reflected in wedding cards and invitations featuring the angels to be blessing the couples. It is believed that during weddings, Sage Mangalya blesses the couples and prays for them invisibly.
Prayers:
Besides Uthiram starrers worshipping for relief from adversities they face due to planetary movements, others mainly are seeking wedding boons and family unity. Devotees pray for relief from leg pains. Women of Uthiram star pray for the longevity of their husbands. The aged, driven out by sons pray for safe return to homes.
Thanks giving:
This is the choice temple for the Uthiram starrers. They must take all opportunities to visit and pray in the temple at least on their annual star day. Those having problems in feet, the aged longing to join their sons again in life who once drove them away and women seeking longevity of their husbands choose this temple to realize their wishes.
Temple History:
Maharshi Mangalya, born in Uthiram star, was the Acharya in the marriage of Sage Agasthya and Sage Vsishta and Bhairava. The whole power of his penance was in his fore palms. He is the authority for all Akshada (rice coated with turmeric being sprayed on couples and while blessing others) angels flying in the air with garlands. The custom of printing wedding invitation now a days with the pictures of these deities came into practice based on this story. During the marriage events, it is believed that the Rishi prays for the parties in this temple invisibly.
