If Samashrayanam has been performed, chanting the mantra initiated by the Acharyan is essential. One must perform all required rites for Perumal’s Tiruvaradhanam service. Cleaning Perumal’s altar and drawing kolam, cleaning Perumal’s vessels, and preparing the food offering (thaligai) for Perumal are included. Providing food for the husband and children, serving food to the elders of the house and doing what is needed for them, keeping the house clean, teaching good values to children, and being a supportive companion by doing what is required for the husband are all essential duties of women. Observing the Ekadashi fast and, as a part of it, taking a head bath (pouring water over the head) is an essential duty. If the parents-in-law are deceased, taking a head bath on days like Amavasya, the start of the Tamil month (Maasapirappu), and Shraddham days, and preparing the appropriate feast for that day are essential duties for women. Staying secluded during menstruation, taking a head bath on the fourth day, and taking a purification bath on the fifth day to remove the remaining impurity are prescribed rules. Furthermore, lighting a lamp in Perumal’s shrine on the fourth day is prohibited. These are not just rules; failing to follow them incurs sin, making this an essential duty for women as well.
