Pournami at Anaadi
Anaadi Foundation was started on the auspicious Gurupurnima 2015. Since 2021, local residents of Iyvar Malai region and ashramites undertake parikrama of Periya Iyvar Malai and offer obesience to Ashtadik Lingams installed around the hillock. The Periya Iyvar Malai, also known as Turiyatheetha Malai has been home to the Pandavas during their vanavasa. Also, it is said that Bogar received the ajna from Bhuvaneswari Maa to make the Navapashana Murugan vigraham on this hillock. Read about the Ashtadik Lingams here. The Parikrama, through lush green pathway takes about 45 minutes on foot and suitable for people of ages upto 70.
