get up early in the morning, finish your bath and make your house especially the pooja room clean. Decorate your pooja room with various flowers. In front the perumal photo put the kolam (Rangoli) using 5 different colours. Then, place a wooden stand (Manai) and on it, put the kolam. Then, on top of it, place a banana leaf (vaazhai ilay) and spread small quantity rice over the leaf. After this, in the middle of the rice, you can place a small idol of Aadhiseshan made of gold, silver etc, depending on their strength. Then, near to the leaf, make a small Ganapathy made of Turmeric. While doing so, let your mind think of Sri Gowri Devi. You can chant all the Devi slokams with full of bhakti and dedication. Finally, as the Neivedhyam (offering), you can offer milk Payasam (or) Sugar – Pongal. Till, the pooja ends, don't take any food. All might be thinking why Naaga (snake) Idol should be kept for Garuda Panchami? The main reason is, while Garudan went to get the Amirtham, the main reason why her mother was slaved was all because of the snakes. So, Indiran gave Garudan a varam that all the snakes, which are responsible for her mother's slanevess, will be Garundan's slave from then. And, while performing this pooja, if any Naaga Dosham is found for any of the family member, it is believed that the Dosham will get vanished. So, Sumangali who follow this great pooja will give birth to a brave, bold, well – talented child like Garudan. Simultaneously, if you get a chance, visit Thiru Naraiyoor Divyadesam (Nachiyar Kovil) and get the blessing of Kal (stone) Garudan and have his complete blessings.
