Salutations to Sri Ranganayaki and Sri Ranganatha — and to Sri Goda Devi (Andal) united with Sri Ranganatha, the divine couple of every Sri Vaishnava heart.

How to recite

Panguni Uthiram is the Tirukalyana Mahotsavam — the symbolic wedding day — at every Sri Vaishnava divya-desam. At Srirangam, Sri Ranganatha and Sri Ranganayaki are wed; at Srivilliputhur, Sri Andal and Sri Ranganatha; at Tirumala, Sri Venkateswara and Sri Padmavati; at Tiruvallur, Sri Veeraraghava Perumal and Sri Vasumati; at Tiruvallikeni (Triplicane), Sri Parthasarathy and Sri Vedavalli. Pancha-rasa annam, Tirukalyana laddu, and akkaravadisal are offered as the wedding bhog. Recite the Andal Tirukalyana Pasurams from Nachiyar Tirumozhi, the Sri Stuti, the Bhu Stuti, and the Lakshmi Sahasranamam.

Benefits

Panguni Uthiram (Tamil Mina + Uttara Phalguni nakshatra) is the most auspicious wedding day of the Sri Vaishnava year. The Lord and his Thayar are wed at every divya-desam simultaneously — the cosmic conjugal union that secures every devotee's mukti through the divya-dampati's joint compassion. The Sri Vaishnava sampradaya holds Lakshmi (Sri) and Vishnu as inseparable; Tirukalyana darshan today is held to grant marital harmony, progeny, and the merit of seven full marriages performed.
