Pancha boodha sthalangal - Thiruvanaikkavaikkaval

Gomatha pooja is the everyday activity of Thiruvanaikkaval. The prohit wears the lady's attire and starts from Devi's sannadhi to Swamy's sannadhi. It is said he represents Devi who goes to swamy sannadhi to render pooja. He performs pooja at swamy sanadhi and when he finishes the pooja with karpoora arthithy(Neerajanam) the doors of the swamy sanndhi opens. from there he comes to the cow which is waiting in front of the swami sannadhi and performs Go pooja. after the karpoora harathi to the cow he proceeds to Devi sannadhi, along with mangala vadhayam. This the every day ritual of Thiruvanaikkovil.
It is said go pooja takes away our sins we have committed over these janmas(births).
