What are the anusthanam-s that one must follow in the mornings during the month of Margazhi? More specifically, kindly advise what should those who do not perform Perumal Tiruvaradhanam and those who stay in hostels.

The important anusthanam for Margazhi is waking up in the dawn and reciting Tiruppavai. Women must wash the entrance, draw kolam and light lamp. It is auspicious to light lamp early at the dawn. Even when Tiruvaradhanam is not performed, Tiruppavai recitation is a must. If one knows Goda Stuti, can recite that.
