The Thayars the utsava Perumals at Kanchipuram and Melkote are similar in appearance carrying a lotus flower in their right hand. But at other Divya Desam-s Sridevi Thayar holds a lotus flower in her right hand while Bhudevi Thayar holds it in her left hand. Is there a specific reason for the Thayars at Kanchipuram and Melkote to carry the lotus flower in their right hand?

There appears to be no reason for these two Thayars to hold the lotus flower in their right hand. Agama texts might have prescribed both these styles and these Thayars might have been consecrated based on those prescriptions.
