The ‘Muhurthakaal Naduthal’ ceremony held on the temple premises in connection with the festival; ‘Pagal Pathu’ begins on December 10 and ‘Ira Pathu’ on December 20
The 22-day Vaikunta Ekadasi festival at Srirangam Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple will commence on December 9, 2023. The festival is divided into two portions: Pagal Pathu and Ira Pathu. Pagal Pathu starts on December 10, with Ira Pathu commencing on December 20. The most significant aspect of the festival is the opening of the 'paramapada vaasal' at the start of December 20, when devotees are expected to gather in large numbers to pay their respects to the processional deity, Sri Namperumal.
The festival concludes on December 30 with the 'Nammazhwar Moksham' ceremony. To prepare for the event, elaborate arrangements will be made by the temple authorities, the Tiruchi City Corporation, and the Tiruchi City police. On December 9, a 'Muhurthakaal Naduthal' ceremony was performed at the temple premises near the thousand pillar mandapam.
