Ayilyam Puja
The Ayilyam Puja is a significant ritual dedicated to the serpent deities Nagaraja and Nagayakshi, commonly performed in temples across Kerala. One of the key components of this puja is the Sarpa Bali, a sacred offering made to appease the serpent gods and mitigate any afflictions related to sarpa dosham. Sarpa dosham is believed to bring misfortune and obstacles in one's life, and the Sarpa Bali ritual aims to alleviate these effects through propitiatory offerings and prayers.

Panaka Pooja is a revered ritual observed in South Indian temples, where devotees offer Panakam, a traditional drink made with jaggery, black pepper, cardamoms, and water, to the deity. This sweet and spiced concoction symbolizes devotion and is believed to be pleasing to the gods. The ritual is performed with reverence and devotion, enhancing the spiritual connection between the devotee and the divine.
