"Anantha" in other words is endless, the eternal. Hence this festival is the King amongst the "Vrathas" or the austerities observed by the Vedics stretching on the Lord Anantha (the eternal serpent Vasuki) with Lord Brahma seated on the Lotus Flower emerging out of Vishnus naval and Goddess Lakshmi serving at his feet is the actual deity to whom Pooja is performed on this sacred day to pay respects to th Eternal Life which is represented as a part and parcel of this Lord (as Lord Vishnu is the one who Lives in us when our body is alive and his spark of this keeps this body going). It is said one has to eat the offerings(Naivedya)of this Vratha even if he has to beg for it. Let Lord Anantha bless us with long life full of health and cheers. |

On the first three days, namely the Tritiya, Chathurthi and Panchami, in the morning Mahapooja is followed by Yajna; in the afternoon utsava in Silver Palanquin is followed by Samaradhana. On the Shasti, these are followed by Mrigaya (deer hunting) festival when the image is taken in the Silver Palanquin along the prescribed routes, followed by the drawing of the smaller Car, Prasada Utsava and Vasanta Pooja, which takes place early in the morning. The Saptami festival begins with various Abhishekas to the deity, followed by Yajna and Mahabali; in the evening the deity is taken into the bigger Car (Brahma Ratha), followed by Samaradhana, then the Car is drawn along Car street about midnight, and back, and Vasanta Pooja is performed. | ||

Volunteers of the community numbering up to 800 work in a disciplined manner all through the festivals to ensure that they are a success.
