Ammavasya
The holy city of Thiruvallur, one among the important 108 Vaishnava Divya Desas, is well known for its significance on Amavasya or New Moon Day. Sri Vaidya Veeraraghava Swami's greatness as a heeler God is well known based on the sthala puranam. It is said the Lord made a solemn promise to Sri Salihotra Maharishi that those having darshan on Lord Veeraraghava on Amavasya day will get relief from all their problems and illness. It is believed that people get relief from their illness or other personal problems if they pray here on Amavasya day. Having darshan and offering kanikkai on 3 or 6 consecutive Amavasya days is believed to be even more desirable. Hence thousands of people come to this temple on that day. Long hours of darshan is arranged by the temple authorities to facilitate the devotees.
