Adiyen had received Mahalakshmi, Santhana Krishna, Nagar deities made of silver as a bridal gift; adiyen’s husband offers flowers and food to the deities during weekdays and on weekends he does Thiruaradhanam. Is this right or are we committing any offence? Moreover, can adiyen clean silver figurines as per the prescribed anushtanam for ladies?

If Thayar and other idols have been consecrated, they must be worshipped as per prescribed requirements and ladies must not touch the idols during worship. The idols that are not consecrated can be cleaned by ladies as per the scriptural procedures. Ladies are also prohibited from touching the idols when the idols are worshipped along with Salagrama murthis.
Even when one has the wherewithal to perform daily Tiruaradhanam, if one does not do so, a minor offense is accrued. It is to one’s benefit that such misdemeanors are rectified.
