At adiyen’s home, along with Salagrama Perumal-s, there are many other smaller idols of Emperuman-s. Along with them, there was another very small idol placed, and without knowing what the idol was, adiyen used to submit all offerings that were submitted to other Perumals. Only recently adiyen got to know that it was a small idol of Saraswati. Will adiyen be tainted with the association of demi-gods and is there any atonement?

You will not incur any taint for having unknowingly performed all the kainkaryams to that idol thus far.
There is something called ‘abhuddhipUrvaka utrAgham’ – that is, after bharanyasam, the sins that are committed without being aware. ‘agham’ means sins. As such sins were unintended, no harm will ensue. After having become aware, one must not continue to commit the same sin.
