How to do the Thai Poosam puja at home
Lord Murugan's day, on Pushya in Thai.
Every step is named here and the first 3 are given whole. The whole puja, every mantra with its meaning, is in the Kalava app.

Take the sankalp beforehand
What the kavadi is for is said out loud before the days of preparation begin, not on the day.
Keep the days before it simple
For days or weeks: one meal, no meat, no onion, sleeping on the floor, yellow or saffron worn.
- Prepare the kavadi
- Walk it up
- Pour the milk
- Break the vrat with the annadanam
These 4 steps are in the app
