Special notes: 

• Every day thirumudi sEvai of perumAL for nammAzhwAr (perumAL going to AzhwAr and blessing him with his lotus feet on AzhwAr’s head) - magnificient manifestation of paragatha svIkAram (the highlight of our sath sampradhAyam which implies emperumAn reaching out to jIvAthmA for his upliftment)
• On the night of vaikuNta EkAdhasi, nammAzhwAr goes to perumAL sannidhi to get niyamanam  (order) for starting thiruvAimozhi festival (rA pathu). First he goes there in his palanquin upto the main entrance of the sannidhi. From there two archakas carry him in their hands with pandhams (lights), chathram, chAmaram, etc. arayar swamy recites aruLappAdu (glorifications) with his (thALam) cymbals facing AzhwAr and AzhwAr slowly walks towards perumAL. He reaches the inner sanctum of perumAL and is placed directly in front of perumAL. He requests emeprumAn to give permission to start the uthsavam and invites him to the rA pathu maNdapam. emperumAn agrees happily and then AzhwAr returns from there back to his sannidhi. After thirumanjanam for AzhwAr, he along with emperumAnAr goes to rA pathu maNdapam. perumAL with his nAchiyArs, sEnai mudhaliyAr and all other AzhwArs and AchAryas reach rA pathu maNdapam in the mean time.
• arayar recites one centum of thiruvAimozhi every day starting on 1st day of rA pathu. Following day, adhyApakas will recite the same centum in gOshti.
• arayar sEvai in front of perumAL behind closed curtains.
• gOshti sEvAkAlam outside the closed curtains – it is said that emperumAn happily enjoys AzhwAr’s thiruvAimozhi alone and may even shake his heads in bliss – which is not to be seen by any one. That is why curtains are closed during recitation.
• Every day perumAL comes through paramapadha vAsal (gate) and AzhwAr waits for him at the other side. But last day, AzhwAr comes out of paramapadha vAsal indicating perumAL blessing us with AzhwAr.
• puRappAdu (procession) – twice every day
• First in the morning for nammAzhwAr and emperumAnAr – before nammAzhwAr thirumanjanam outside the temple followed by mangaLAsAsanam to periya perumAL
• Second in the evening for polindhu ninRa pirAn and AzhwAr who sung the iyaRpA prabhandham that is being recited - after paramapadha vAsal opening, inside the temple.
