Understand the two compartments
Irumudi is a two-part bundle. The front is associated with offerings; the rear carries the other provisions arranged according to the group’s custom. Keep the offering materials clean and distinguish them from ordinary luggage.
Preparation sequence
- Confirm the group’s material list, quantities and time of worship.
- Prepare the clean Irumudi bag and the offerings under guidance.
- Take part in the pooja and filling of the ghee coconut.
- Arrange the compartments and tie the bundle as your Guruswamy directs.
- Receive and carry the Irumudi respectfully, keeping the group’s instructions in mind.
Neythenga and the offering
Neythenga is the ghee-filled coconut carried for Neyyabhishekam. Ask your guide how to prepare, fill and close it. The condition of the coconut and clean handling matter; a generic shop kit is not a substitute for checking the materials.
Before departure
Keep travel documents, drinking water and necessary personal items accessible separately. Confirm the return plan and arrangements for the group.
